Body fat calculator

Estimate your body fat percentage from simple tape measurements.

About this calculator

This uses the US Navy method. Measure your neck and waist, plus your hips if you are female, and enter your height. Measure at the navel for the waist and the widest point for the hips, standing relaxed.

It is an estimate and can be a few percent out. Use the same method each time to track change.

Common questions

Where do I measure my waist?

Level with the navel, after breathing out, without pulling the tape tight.

Is it as good as a scan?

No. Scans are more accurate, but this is free and useful for tracking trends.
