Body-composition estimate

Lean Body Mass Calculator

Estimate lean body mass, fat mass, and lean-mass share from height, weight, and sex using a standard formula-based method.

Interactive calculator

Estimate lean body mass from height and weight

Use a sex-specific formula to estimate lean body mass, fat mass, and the lean share of current body weight.

Estimated split

Lean mass versus non-lean mass

This split reflects the formula estimate of lean mass versus non-lean mass at the current body weight.

Lean mass

60.1 kg

Estimated fat mass

17.9 kg

How to use it

  1. 01Select sex and enter your body weight and height.
  2. 02Review the estimated lean body mass and estimated non-lean mass.
  3. 03Use the lean-mass share as a rough comparison point, not a medical diagnosis.

Result guide

  • Lean body mass is estimated, not directly measured.
  • The result is most useful as a general reference or trend check, not as a precise body-fat assessment.
  • For more measurement-driven composition estimates, the body-fat calculator provides a different approach.

About this calculator

Lean-body-mass pages are useful because many people want a rough body-composition reference without taking full circumference measurements or using calipers.

This calculator stays honest about scope: it is a formula estimate, not a lab-grade composition measurement.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from body fat percentage?

Lean body mass estimates the amount of non-fat mass, while body-fat percentage focuses on the fat share of total body weight.

Is this as accurate as a scan or lab test?

No. It is a simpler formula-based estimate and should not be treated as equivalent to DEXA or other clinical methods.

Why might the estimate differ from what my scale says?

Different devices and formulas use different assumptions, so body-composition estimates often vary across methods.
