What Is This Tool?
The Body Type Calculator identifies your body shape from four measurements — bust, waist, high hip, and hip — and sorts you into one of seven categories: hourglass, top hourglass, bottom hourglass, spoon, triangle, inverted triangle, or rectangle. It also reports your waist-to-hip ratio. You can enter measurements in metric or imperial units and download the result as a PDF. It is a general proportions guide, often used for styling and clothing choices, and is not a health, fitness, or medical assessment.

Tips & Best Practices

- Measure twice to confirm the numbers before calculating.
