Compare calculators
Both calculators run independently — change the inputs on either side to compare results.
BMI Calculator
Body Mass Index (BMI) is the most widely used screening tool for relating a person's weight to their height. It produces a single number that places adults into broad weight categories — underweight, healthy weight, overweight, or obese — and is used by the WHO, the CDC, and the NHS as a first-pass indicator of weight-related health risk. Enter your weight in kilograms and height in centimetres and the calculator returns your BMI in kg/m². The result is meant as a starting point for a conversation with a clinician, not a diagnosis on its own.
Body Fat Percentage Calculator
Estimate your body fat percentage from a tape measure using the US Navy circumference method — the same protocol the US military uses for fitness compliance. Enter your waist, neck, height (and hip if female) and the calculator returns body fat percentage, accurate to within ±3–4 percentage points compared to a DEXA scan.
