Body Fat Calculator

Body fat percentage indicates the proportion of fat in your total body weight and is a crucial metric for evaluating health and fitness levels. While BMI (Body Mass Index) only shows the relationship between weight and height, body fat percentage directly reflects actual fat mass and distinguishes between fat and muscle, providing a more accurate assessment of body composition.

This tool uses the US Navy Method, developed by the United States Navy, which estimates body fat percentage from height and circumference measurements (neck, waist, and hip for women). Its key advantage is simplicity — it requires only a measuring tape and no expensive equipment like DEXA machines or hydrostatic weighing tanks.

Results are classified into five categories: essential fat, athlete, fitness, average, and obese, displayed with a color-coded bar and pointer for easy visualization. Use these results to guide your fitness and health management goals.

Please note that this is an estimation. For medically precise measurements, consider professional assessments such as DEXA scans or hydrostatic weighing.
