Body Composition Calculator

Get BMI, body fat percentage, waist-hip ratio, and lean mass — calculated from your measurements using the US Navy method.

What is body composition? Body composition is the ratio of fat, lean muscle, bone, and water in your body. Tracking BMI, body fat percentage, waist-hip ratio, and lean mass gives a more complete health picture than weight alone. The US Navy method estimates body fat from neck, waist, and hip measurements.

About These Metrics

  • BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)². Useful population screen; doesn't distinguish fat from muscle.
  • Body Fat % uses US Navy circumference method — within ±3% for most adults.
  • WHR > 0.90 (men) or > 0.85 (women) suggests elevated cardiovascular risk.
  • Lean Mass = total weight × (1 − body fat fraction).
