Waist-to-Hip Ratio Calculator

Calculate your waist-to-hip ratio (WHR).

Last updated: 12 Aug 2026

Quick answer

Waist-to-hip ratio = waist ÷ hip (same units). For example, an 85 cm waist and 100 cm hip gives 0.85. Lower ratios generally indicate lower health risk (below ~0.90 for men and ~0.85 for women). Enter your measurements above.

Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) compares your waist and hip measurements: WHR = waist ÷ hip. It is a simple indicator of fat distribution and health risk.

How to calculate waist-to-hip ratio

  1. 1 Measure your waist and hips in the same unit (cm).
  2. 2 Enter both measurements.
  3. 3 We divide waist by hip to get your ratio.

Frequently asked questions

What is a healthy waist-to-hip ratio?
Broadly, below about 0.90 for men and 0.85 for women is considered lower risk; higher ratios suggest more abdominal fat.
How do I measure correctly?
Measure the waist at the narrowest point and the hips at the widest, keeping the tape level.
Is WHR better than BMI?
They measure different things; WHR reflects fat distribution, BMI reflects weight-for-height. Use them together.
