Comparison
What the numbers mean
The game shows each damage type as a range, for example Physical Damage: 98-164. The average of that range times Attacks per Second is the DPS for that type. Weapon DPS is the standard way to compare two weapons of the same class before skills, passives and support gems are applied, because almost every attack scales from it. Added flat damage on the tree, "increased" and "more" multipliers are applied afterwards; the hit & crit calculator does that part.
The comparison shows the difference in total DPS and in each component, so you can see for example that a weapon loses physical damage but wins on elemental, which matters if your build converts or only scales one of them. Critical hit chance is listed next to the DPS because two weapons with the same DPS are not equal if one crits twice as often.

FAQ
How do I copy an item from Path of Exile 2?
Hover the item in your inventory or stash and press Ctrl+C (on PC). The game copies the full item text to the clipboard. Paste it into the box above. Console players can type the damage lines by hand using the "manual" fields.
What is pDPS, eDPS and total DPS?
pDPS is average physical damage per hit × attacks per second. eDPS is the same for fire, cold and lightning together. Total DPS adds chaos as well. These are the weapon's own numbers, before your passive tree, skills and support gems.
Why does the "at 20% quality" number differ from the trade site?
Quality on a weapon adds local increased physical damage and stacks additively with the weapon's own "% increased Physical Damage" mods. The calculator rescales the physical line to 20% using the mods it finds in the text. If a mod is written differently (for example on a rune) it may be missed; the plain pDPS is always exact.
