How it works

Waist-to-hip ratio is calculated as waist ÷ hip. Both measurements must use the same unit. The final ratio does not have a unit.

Examples

  • 80 cm waist and 95 cm hip → ratio ≈ 0.842
  • 32 in waist and 40 in hip → ratio = 0.80
  • Useful as a simple body-shape comparison metric

FAQ

  • What is waist-to-hip ratio?

    Waist-to-hip ratio compares waist circumference to hip circumference by dividing waist measurement by hip measurement.

  • Do both measurements need the same unit?

    Yes. Waist and hip measurements must use the same unit, such as centimeters or inches.

  • Is this a diagnosis?

    No. This calculator provides a simple ratio and broad reference labels only. It is not a medical diagnosis.

  • Why is sex optional here?

    Some broad reference label ranges are commonly shown differently for male and female categories, so the tool can optionally apply those labels.

  • Are my measurements stored?

    No. All calculations run locally in your browser.
