This body fat calculator uses the U.S. Navy Circumference Method where three/ four body measurements are fed into a fixed formula to estimate the percentage of your body that is made up of fat. Remember that this is only a rough estimate. The measurements need to be accurate to within 0.5cm/ 0.25 inches and should be taken as follows:

Neck: taken below the larynx slightly sloping downward at the front
Waist: women at the smallest point; men at the level of the navel
Hips (women only): at the largest point
