Curious about your body type? Our free Body Shape Calculator makes it easy to find out.

Why Knowing Your Body Type Matters

Your body shape is more than just numbers — it affects fitness, health, and the way clothes fit. Understanding your body type can help you:

  • ✅ Pick clothes that flatter your natural figure
  • ✅ Create workout routines targeting specific areas
  • ✅ Learn about your natural fat distribution
  • ✅ Track shape changes over time with consistent measuring

Measurements You’ll Need

For accurate results, the calculator uses three body measurements:

  • Bust: Around the fullest part of your chest
  • Waist: The narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel
  • Hips: Around the widest part of your hips/buttocks

Supported Units

You can input measurements in:

  • Inches (in)
  • Feet (ft)
  • Centimeters (cm)
  • Millimeters (mm)
  • Meters (m)

How We Classify Body Shape

The calculator analyzes the ratio between bust, waist, and hips to identify your body type.

Body ShapeDescription
HourglassBust and hips are nearly equal; waist is clearly slimmer
PearHips are larger than bust; waist remains smaller
AppleWaist measures larger than bust or hips
RectangleAll three measurements are similar, with minimal curve
Inverted TriangleBust/shoulders are significantly larger than hips

Formula Logic (Simplified)

Measurements are converted into centimeters, and we apply conditions like:

  • Hourglass: Bust ≈ Hips (within 5 cm) and Waist < 75% of Bust
  • Pear: Hips > Bust and Waist < Bust
  • Inverted Triangle: Bust > Hips and Waist < Hips
  • Rectangle: Waist = 75%–90% of Bust
  • Apple: When none of the above applies

Example Calculation

Input:

  • Bust: 90 cm
  • Waist: 65 cm
  • Hips: 92 cm

Result: Hourglass Shape (Bust ≈ Hips, Waist much smaller)

How to Measure Correctly

  1. Stand straight but relaxed, without sucking in your stomach
  2. Use a soft measuring tape
  3. Measure directly on skin or thin clothing
  4. Keep the tape snug but not too tight
