Body Fat Calculator

You can estimate your body composition using our body fat calculator. It’s important to note that no matter how advanced the calculator, it cannot replace a visit to a doctor’s office. Consider the result as a rough estimate; it can only indicate whether your body fat percentage significantly deviates from the recommended value. There’s no need to be overly concerned if the result varies slightly from the recommended range. 

To calculate your body fat percentage, you’ll need the following information: 

1. Age and gender.
2. Weight: Weigh yourself preferably in the morning, before eating, and without clothing for the most accurate result.
3. Height: Stand upright and measure the distance from the floor to the top of your head, without wearing shoes.

Once you’ve collected this data, you can input it into the body fat calculator.  

BMI Method of Body Fat Calculation:  

We used the BMI method for our Body Fat Calculator and used the following formulas for body fat percentage calculation in males and females.  

For Male: 

 = (1.20 x BMI) + (0.23 x Age) – 16.2  

For Female: 

= (1.20 x BMI) + (0.23 x Age) – 5.4 

This formula is confirmed and validated by the World Health Organization’s obesity body mass index criteria however, it’s essential to keep in mind that because of the diverse range of body types within the population, the estimation may not achieve absolute precision. For instance, an individual with exceptionally high muscle mass may show higher weight and BMI values, but this does not necessarily imply that the person is obese.
