How Is Body Fat Calculated?

This calculator uses two scientifically validated methods to estimate body fat percentage:

🔵 Navy Method Formula

Developed by the U.S. Navy, this method uses body circumference measurements and is considered more accurate than BMI-based estimates.

For Men:
BF% = 495 ÷ (1.0324 − 0.19077 × log₁₀(waist − neck) + 0.15456 × log₁₀(height)) − 450
For Women:
BF% = 495 ÷ (1.29579 − 0.35004 × log₁₀(waist + hip − neck) + 0.22100 × log₁₀(height)) − 450

All measurements in centimeters.

🟠 BMI Method Formula

This method estimates body fat from BMI, age, and gender. It is less precise than the Navy method but requires only height and weight.

For Men: BF% = (1.20 × BMI) + (0.23 × Age) − 16.2
For Women: BF% = (1.20 × BMI) + (0.23 × Age) − 5.4
BMI = Weight (kg) ÷ Height (m)²
