Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the Navy method?
It's a solid, widely used estimate from body measurements. For clinical accuracy, a DEXA scan is the gold standard.
Where do I measure?
Neck below the larynx, waist at the navel, and (for women) hips at the widest point — keep the tape level and snug.
Is my data saved?
No — the calculation runs entirely in your browser.
