Why it matters
Where fat sits matters more than how much there is. Fat around the abdomen is metabolically active in a way that fat on the hips is not, which is why two people with the same BMI can have very different risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about this tool.

How do I measure my waist and hips correctly?

Waist at the narrowest point, usually just above the navel; hips at the widest point across the buttocks. Measure over bare skin or thin clothing, standing relaxed, at the end of a normal breath out — holding your stomach in produces a flattering number and a useless ratio. Keep the tape level all the way round.

What is a healthy waist-to-hip ratio?

The World Health Organization treats above 0.90 for men and above 0.85 for women as abdominal obesity, which is associated with higher cardiometabolic risk. These thresholds are population statistics, not a diagnosis — they describe risk across large groups and say nothing definite about one person.

Which is better, waist-to-hip or waist-to-height?

Waist-to-height is simpler and travels better across body types and ethnicities, with the rule of thumb that your waist should be under half your height. Both are calculated here because they capture slightly different things, and neither replaces a conversation with a doctor.

How accurate is Waist to Hip Ratio Calculator?

It uses the standard formula for the calculation, so the maths is exact for the numbers you enter. For loans, tax and investments, treat the answer as a close estimate and confirm the final figure with your bank or adviser.

Does Waist to Hip Ratio Calculator save the numbers I enter?

No. Your figures are worked out in the browser and are not sent to any server or stored in an account. Salary, loan and health details stay on your device.

Are the income tax calculators up to date?

They are built on the slabs published by the Income Tax Department for the year shown on each page. Rules change with each Budget, so confirm the figures on the official portal before you file.

Can I rely on these calculators for health decisions?

They are good for a quick check, such as BMI or daily calories. They are not a medical diagnosis, so talk to a doctor before changing medicine, diet or treatment based on a result.

Do I need to install an app?

No. Every calculator runs in the browser on your phone or computer, with no download and no sign-up. Bookmark the page if you use it often.
