Relative Fat Mass Calculator

A better body fat estimate using height and waist.

Relative Fat Mass

RFM = 64 − (20 × height/waist) + (12 × sex), where sex = 1 for female, 0 for male. Developed in 2018, RFM better estimates whole-body fat percentage than BMI, especially for people with high muscle mass or central obesity. It requires only height and waist circumference – no scale needed.
