What’s a Body Fat Percentage Calculator?
This tool estimates body fat percentage using the Jackson-Pollock 3-Site Skinfold Method, based on skinfold measurements, weight, age, and sex. Perfect for fitness tracking in India and globally.
How It’s Calculated
Using the Jackson-Pollock 3-Site Method:
Men (Chest, Abdomen, Thigh):
Body Density = a - b × log₁₀(Sum of Skinfolds) + c × Age
Women (Triceps, Suprailiac, Thigh):
Body Density = A - B × log₁₀(Sum of Skinfolds) + C × Age
Body Fat % = (495 / Density) - 450
Our calculator simplifies this for you!
