Body Shape Calculator

Use this free Body Shape Calculator to determine your body type using the three primary body measurements — bust, waist, and hips. The calculator automatically identifies your shape as hourglass, pear, apple, rectangle, or inverted triangle. Input values in your preferred unit (cm, mm, m, feet, or inches) and get instant results, including visual guidance and classification. No signup, no cost — just accurate results in seconds!

Why Use a Body Shape Calculator?

Understanding your body shape is important for health, fitness, and even choosing the right fashion. By identifying whether your figure is more of an hourglass, pear, or apple, you can:

• ✅ Choose clothes that flatter your figure
• ✅ Plan a workout targeting specific areas
• ✅ Understand your fat distribution type
• ✅ Monitor shape change over time with consistent tracking

What Measurements Do You Need?

This calculator uses three standard measurements:

• Bust: The circumference around the fullest part of your chest
• Waist: The smallest part of your midsection, typically above the navel
• Hips: The widest part of your lower body, measured around the buttocks

Supported Units

We support various measurement units for your convenience:

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

Body Shape Classification Logic

The calculator uses the ratio between bust, waist, and hips to classify body shape. Here’s a simplified overview of how we determine each shape:

Formula Used for Body Shape

We convert all inputs to centimeters and apply logic like:

• Hourglass: |Bust − Hips| ≤ 5 and Waist < 75% of Bust
• Pear: Hips > Bust and Waist < Bust
• Inverted Triangle: Bust > Hips and Waist < Hips
• Rectangle: Waist is between 75%–90% of Bust
• Apple: Anything else

Example Calculation

Input:

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

Result: Hourglass Shape (because bust ≈ hips and waist is much smaller)

Visual Explanation of Measurement Points

Refer to the image above showing the three labeled body parts:

• Bust: Around the chest area
• Waist: Above the belly button
• Hips: Around the widest point of the lower body

Body Shape Gallery

Below are common body shapes our calculator detects:

• Hourglass: Well-balanced top and bottom with defined waist
• Pear: Larger bottom with narrower shoulders
• Apple: Rounder midsection, slim legs
• Rectangle: Minimal curves, balanced all over
• Inverted Triangle: Broad shoulders and chest with slim hips

How to Take Accurate Measurements

1. Stand straight but relaxed
2. Use a flexible measuring tape
3. Measure over light clothing or bare skin
4. Wrap the tape snugly without compressing

Body Shape vs. Body Fat

It’s important to note that your body shape is not the same as body fat percentage. Shape tells you about distribution; fat percentage tells you about overall fitness or health. Use both calculators for full insight.

Fashion & Body Shape

Knowing your shape helps you dress better. For example:

• Hourglass: Try fitted dresses that highlight the waist
• Pear: Use patterns on the top to balance hips
• Apple: Empire waistlines and A-line dresses work best
