Skinfold Caliper Test

If you've got a set of skinfold calipers, this gives you a more precise body fat estimate than a visual guess. It uses the 3-site Jackson-Pollock method — one of the most widely used and validated skinfold formulas. Take your measurements in millimetres at each site and enter them below.

Skinfold Caliper Test

Enter your caliper measurements (in millimetres) using the 3-site Jackson-Pollock method for a more precise body fat estimate than visual methods.

Pinch a fold of skin (not muscle) firmly with the caliper at each site and take the reading in millimetres. For the most consistent results, measure on the right side of the body and take each reading twice, using the average.
