Army body fat calculator (tape test)

This page uses a circumference-based estimate (aligned with the core approach behind the US Navy formula). Standards and procedures can change—always follow current official guidance.

Open tracker
Optional skinfold inputs

Skinfold calipers are typically read in mm. Male: chest/abdomen/thigh; female: triceps/suprailiac/thigh. Take 3–5 readings per site and average for consistency.

How to interpret

Body fat formulas provide estimates only. Trends over time are more reliable than single readings.
