If you are a parent or a new coach, filling out a Planned Program Content (PPC) form can feel like learning a completely different language. Between memorizing the exact abbreviations for jumps and spins, to calculating how much a single under-rotation affects your total score, it is a tedious process.
That is exactly why we built the PPC Calculator.
We wanted to create a fast, mobile-friendly tool that does the heavy lifting for you. Whether you are estimating a target score for an upcoming competition or testing out different program layouts to maximize your Total Element Score (TES), our calculator is designed to make the process effortless.

Deductions (Falls)
Note: Fall deduction values vary by category and region. Some categories do not penalize for falls-in element (Value = 0), while some categories typically deduct certain point per fall (in and out element). Please adjust the value according to your specific competition rules.
Why You’ll Love This Tool
We built this calculator with both beginners and experienced coaches in mind. Here is what makes it special:
- Smart Search: Don’t know the abbreviation for a “Double Axel”? No problem! Just start typing the full name of the element into the box, and our smart search will suggest the correct abbreviation (
2A) for you. - Quick Modifiers: Easily apply common execution modifiers with the tap of a button. Add an under-rotation (
<), an edge call (e), or a sequence (+SEQ) directly from the quick-row beneath each element. - Automatic Base Value Math: The calculator automatically applies the complex ISU mathematical rules, including the 80% penalty for repeated jumps (
+REP) and the reduced base values for under-rotations and edge calls. - Integrated PCS Scoring: Estimate your Program Component Score (Composition, Presentation, and Skating Skills) alongside your elements to get an accurate view of your Total Segment Score. You can even adjust the PCS Factor based on your specific competition category!
To ensure your estimates are as accurate as possible, the calculator is powered by the ISU Season 2025/2026 Scale of Values. We have also included regional basic skills elements for skaters competing in the lower levels in Indonesia, and will soon be adding elements for the Philippines, Malaysia, and India.
