A Body Fat Calculator is a tool designed to estimate the percentage of body fat in a person's body. This calculator typically uses various physical measurements, such as height, neck circumference, waist circumference, and hip circumference, to provide an estimate. The U.S. Navy Method, used in our example, is one of the most common formulas for calculating body fat percentage based on these measurements.
