A good way to see how accurate your scale is is to go to the grocery store, put some fruit in a bag and weigh it on their spring scales. Then attach the bag to your scale and see what it reads. Digital scales can read from less than an ounce to a couple pounds off.

I'm not 100% sure, but I'd assume most digital scales can be calibrated to read more accurately once you've determined that they are off.

If you are lifting weights just take a 5 pound weight and hang it off the end of the scale
