How this calculator works

The U.S. Navy method uses height, neck, waist, and hip measurements. Tape placement and measurement consistency strongly affect results.

How to use your result

Keep your inputs consistent and compare weekly trends. Make small changes only after enough data accumulates.

Important limitation

Calculator results are estimates. Pregnancy, eating disorders, medical conditions, injuries, or concerning symptoms require qualified professional guidance.

Frequently asked questions

How can I measure body fat at home?

The U.S. Navy tape method uses neck, waist, and (for women) hip circumference plus height. Measure each site three times and average for consistency.

How accurate is the Navy body fat method?

It's a useful estimate, typically within a few percentage points, but it's sensitive to tape placement. Track the trend rather than treating it as a DEXA-level number.
