Are the one rep max calculators accurate when it comes to finding out what the one rep max is for squats, since it doesn't take into account the persons bodyweight.

They are not really being tools. Just pointing out that to figure out a 1RM you need to do a 1RM. If you have a 3 rep squat max you can work out relatively well what the 1RM will be, but a 10 rep max gives a huge margin of error with 1RM.
OP - what on earth does bodyweight have to do with your 1RM???"I'll do today what others won't so I can do tomorrow what others can't" - such a fitting quote for bodybuilding!

Wait, so I should add my bodyweight to what's on the barbell to get my actual squat weight? Awesome. Just went from being a mediocre squatter to world class.

People can estimate it but there is no way to know for sure without testing it.
That said, I don't 1RM, I just don't see the point.
I'd say a 300x5 squat would yield, for most people, a 1RM of somewhere around 340-350.
If someone asks, why don't you just tell them "I haven't tested it, I work out with 300x5"?

"The fitness and nutrition world is a breeding ground for obsessive-compulsive behavior. The irony is that many of the things people worry about have no impact on results either way, and therefore aren't worth an ounce of concern."--Alan Aragon
