Army Body Fat Calculator
Check height & weight screening, calculate body fat using the one-site Army tape test, compare against age standards, and estimate targets to get back within limits.
Army Body Composition Estimator
Use official-style inputs (units, rounding, and averages) to estimate body fat percentage and compare against age-group standards.
Height & weight screening is an initial check. If you exceed the screening max for your height/age/sex, a body fat assessment is typically required to determine compliance.
Measure the abdomen at the level of the navel (belly button). Taking three measurements and using the average helps reduce noise from posture, breathing, and tape placement.
This method uses multiple circumference sites and height. It is included for comparison and planning. Always follow your unit’s current authorized assessment guidance.
Targets are estimates based on the same equations as the one-site tape test. Real outcomes vary with training, diet, hydration, and where your body loses fat first.
