Estimate Your Body Fat Percentage
Body fat percentage is the proportion of fat your body contains relative to lean mass. It's a more accurate health indicator than weight alone, offering insight into fitness, health risks, and body composition.
Our Body Fat Calculator uses measurements like height, weight, waist, neck, and optionally hips to estimate your body fat percentage based on formulas such as the U.S. Navy Method.
| Body Fat % | Category | For Men | For Women |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2–5% | Essential Fat | Yes | 10–13% |
| 6–13% | Athletes | Yes | 14–20% |
| 14–17% | Fitness | Yes | 21–24% |
| 18–24% | Average | Yes | 25–31% |
| 25%+ | Obese | Yes | 32%+ |
Note: This is an estimate and not a medical diagnosis. For the most accurate body composition analysis, consult with a healthcare or fitness professional using tools like DEXA scans or calipers.
