Body Fat Calculator
Estimate body fat percentage using US Navy measurements.
Last updated: August 21, 2026
How it works
Body fat percentage is estimated from height and circumference measurements using the US Navy-style tape measurement formula.
Tape-measure body fat estimates depend on consistent measurement points and are not as precise as clinical body-composition testing.
