Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is this result medical advice?

No. It is a general estimate based on the values and formula shown. A qualified health professional can interpret measurements for your circumstances.

Are my entries uploaded?

No. The calculation runs in your current browser tab, and the tool does not send the values to a server.

Why might my result differ elsewhere?

Methods, rounding and reference assumptions vary. Check the selected units and inputs, then treat the result as an estimate rather than a diagnosis.

I changed the hip measurement and nothing moved. Why?

The Navy formula for men uses height, neck and waist only. The hip box stays on screen so the form is the same for everyone, but it is not read. For women it is.

Background

Understanding the estimate

Enter sex, height, neck, waist and hip measurements. See the circumference-based estimate and the measurements used. This calculator provides an estimate, not medical advice.

  • The result follows the method named in the tool and rounds figures for easy reading.
  • Personal circumstances vary, so use the figure as a general reference and not a diagnosis.
