EP Calculator
Calculate your exact Exercise Points for any workout. Enter your heart rate data, duration, and workout type.
Calculate your Exercise Points
Want to know exactly how many EP a workout earned — or will earn? Use the interactive EP Calculator.
Enter four values from your workout and the calculator does the rest:
- Age — used to calculate your HR Limit
- Resting Heart Rate — from your profile or wearable
- Average Heart Rate — from the workout summary
- Duration — workout length in minutes
Plus optional bonuses for strength workouts (+25%) and ProofShot (+10%).
The calculator uses the same scoring engine as the NestEgg app — the EP you see here will match what shows up in your workout log.
Find your Level
Want to know which Level your weekly EP puts you at — or estimate your starting Level from a short questionnaire? Use the Level Calculator.
It has two modes:
- EP → Level Lookup — enter your weekly EP total to see your Level, Level Score, and how close you are to promotion
- Activity Questionnaire — answer four quick questions to estimate your starting Level
Where to find your data
Average HR and Duration — open the workout summary in your wearable’s app (Garmin Connect, Fitbit, WHOOP, etc.). These are the two main values displayed on every workout screen.
Resting HR — check your NestEgg profile (Settings) or your wearable’s health dashboard. Most wearables track this automatically.
Age — you know this one.
