Body Fat Calculator: limits and things worth knowing

  • Tape-based methods such as the US Navy formula use circumference measurements and are estimates with typical error of ±3-4 percentage points against a DEXA scan.
  • Consistency matters more than absolute accuracy: measure at the same points, at the same time of day, under the same conditions, and track the trend rather than any single reading.
  • Essential fat is roughly 3-5% for men and 10-13% for women. Below those levels carries real health consequences, including hormonal disruption.
  • Bioimpedance scales are strongly affected by hydration and can swing several percentage points within a day.
  • General information only, not medical advice.

Is it private and secure?

Your privacy is built in. Body Fat Calculator runs completely on your device, so whatever you enter stays in your browser and is never transmitted, logged or stored on any server.

Network activity: none. Nothing is sent and nothing is fetched. This tool makes no network request at all once the page has loaded — which is why it keeps working if your connection drops.

You do not have to take that on trust — our privacy proof page publishes the Content-Security-Policy that enforces it, lists every third party it permits, and shows how to verify the whole claim yourself.
