What Is My Body Type?
How to Find Your Body Type
Your body type can be estimated by comparing the proportions of your chest or bust, waist, and hips, along with information about your overall build. This calculator uses the measurements you enter to estimate the body type category that most closely matches your proportions.
Step 1 — Take your measurements
Using a soft measuring tape, measure your bust or chest (fullest part), waist (narrowest point), and hips (fullest part). Also note your height and weight. Shoulder width is optional and provides additional information about your upper-body proportions, particularly when the shoulders are broader relative to the hips.
Step 2 — Enter your details
Select your gender and unit (inches or cm). Enter each measurement into the body type calculator above. Use the same unit for every field — do not mix inches and centimeters.
Step 3 — Get your body type
The calculator compares your proportions and overall build to standard body type classification rules and instantly shows your most likely body type — hourglass, pear, apple, rectangle, inverted triangle, or athletic.
Body Type Categories
Common Body Shape Categories
Body shape categories describe differences in proportions between areas such as the chest or bust, waist, hips, and shoulders. The categories below are used as general descriptions of body proportions and are separate from build-based terms such as ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph.
Hourglass Body Shape
Bust and hips are relatively balanced, with a clearly defined smaller waist.
Pear / Triangle Body Shape
Hips are wider than the bust or chest. Weight tends to be carried in the hips, thighs, and lower body. Common in women. Also called triangle body type.
Inverted Triangle Body Shape
Shoulders or bust are broader than the hips. Common in men and athletic women. Upper body is dominant. Also called athletic body type in men.
Rectangle Body Shape
Bust, waist, and hips are close in measurement. A straight, balanced silhouette. Common in both men and women. Also called a banana or straight body type.
Apple / Oval Body Shape
Waist is fuller compared with the bust and hips. Weight is carried mainly in the midsection. Common in men (where it is often called an oval or round body type) and women.
Spoon Body Shape
Similar to pear but with a more pronounced hip shelf. Hips are noticeably wider than the bust, with a visible high hip curve. More common in women.
Build-Based Body Types
Ectomorph, Mesomorph, and Endomorph: Build-Based Terms
Ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph are traditional terms used to describe general body-build patterns. They are different from measurement-based shape categories such as hourglass, pear, apple, and rectangle, and they should not be treated as precise measures of metabolism, fitness, or body composition.
Ectomorph Body Type
Commonly described as a leaner or more slender build, often with a narrower frame and longer-looking limbs. These traits describe general body structure rather than determining a person's metabolism or fitness ability.
Mesomorph Body Type
Commonly described as an athletic or muscular-looking build, often with broader shoulders and a more defined frame. Body composition can vary widely within this category.
Endomorph Body Type
Commonly described as a rounder or softer build, sometimes associated with a wider waist or hips. This label describes general body shape and should not be used to predict metabolism or how someone responds to a particular diet.

Why Use This Tool
How This Body Type Calculator Works
This calculator estimates your body type using the measurements and other information you provide. The result is based on the proportions entered into the calculator and should be treated as a general estimate rather than a definitive classification.
Uses height and weight
The calculator asks for height and weight alongside your body measurements. These inputs provide additional information about your overall profile, while the body type estimate is primarily based on your body proportions.
Optional shoulder measurement
Shoulder width provides additional information about your upper-body proportions and can be useful when distinguishing broader-shoulder body types.
Works for men and women
The calculator uses your selected gender when presenting the estimated result. The available categories include common body-shape descriptions such as hourglass, pear, apple, rectangle, triangle, and inverted triangle.
Inches and centimeters
The calculator works with both imperial (inches, lbs) and metric (cm, kg) measurements. Select your unit before entering values and keep the same unit throughout.

Is there a body type calculator for males?
Yes. Select "Male" in this body type calculator and enter your chest, waist, hips, height, weight, and optional shoulder width. Male body types include rectangle, inverted triangle (athletic), oval (apple), and triangle. Shoulder width matters most for accurate male results, since broad shoulders relative to hips signal an inverted triangle or athletic body type.

These labels describe general body structure and should not be used to predict metabolism, weight gain, or how someone responds to a particular diet.
Is this a Kibbe body type calculator?
No. Kibbe body types consider bone structure, facial features, flesh (muscle and fat distribution), and style essence — details that cannot be captured by measurements alone. This tool is a measurement-based body type calculator. For a Kibbe body type result, a full Kibbe body type test with additional bone structure questions is needed.
Can this calculator help with weight loss or diet?
This calculator estimates your body type from the measurements you enter. It does not calculate calorie needs, macros, weight-loss targets, or personalized diet plans. Body type categories alone should not be used to determine a specific diet.
How accurate is this body type calculator?
This calculator provides an estimate based on the measurements and other information you enter. Results can vary depending on how measurements are taken and how closely your proportions fit the calculator's classification rules. Use the result as a general guide rather than a definitive label.
