Worked navy body fat calculator example. Set Gender = Male; Age = 30; Height ft in — height Feet = 5; Height ft in = 9; Weight lbs = 160; Neck circumference = 14; Waist circumference = 34. The corresponding output is Body Fat Percentage: 19.9%. The formula uses relationships among body circumferences and height.
Estimate body-fat percentage from the circumference measurements required by the Navy-style equation implemented here. Follow measurement locations consistently.
Use the required waist or abdomen, neck and any additional circumference with the correct sex-specific equation.
| Field | Example value | Entry check |
|---|---|---|
| Gender | Male | Use the option required by the selected estimation model. |
| Age | 30 | Use the stated unit and the measurement required by this model. |
| Height ft in — height Feet | 5 | Keep feet and any inch remainder in their separate fields. |
| Height ft in | 9 | Keep feet and any inch remainder in their separate fields. |
| Weight lbs | 160 | Use the measurement unit printed beside this field and a consistent measuring technique. |
| Neck circumference | 14 | Use the measurement unit printed beside this field and a consistent measuring technique. |
| Waist circumference | 34 | Use the measurement unit printed beside this field and a consistent measuring technique. |
Relationship used for this example: Body-fat percentage is estimated from the selected circumference-based equation using height and body measurements.
The formula uses relationships among body circumferences and height. Tape position and tightness can affect the resulting percentage.
| Output | Displayed result |
|---|---|
| Body Fat Percentage | 19.9% |
With these settings, body fat percentage is 19.9%. Use the same units and calculation mode when reproducing this example.
The formula uses relationships among body circumferences and height. Tape position and tightness can affect the resulting percentage. A website estimate is not an official military assessment. Current service procedures, measurement rules and permitted methods must be checked separately.
Replace the illustrative gender value (Male) with your own value, then complete the other inputs for the same scenario. Use the required waist or abdomen, neck and any additional circumference with the correct sex-specific equation.
