What Is My Body Type?
How to Find Your Body Type
Your body type is determined by the proportions of your chest or bust, waist, and hips — plus your overall build indicated by height and weight. This body type calculator compares those measurements to identify your most likely body type category. No quiz, no guessing — just measurements.
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 but improves accuracy for male body types and athletic builds.
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 Types for Men and Women
These are common body shape categories used to describe differences in body proportions. Understanding these categories can help you describe your proportions and explore clothing and style options.
Hourglass Body Type
Bust and hips are relatively balanced, with a clearly defined smaller waist.
Pear / Triangle Body Type
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 Type
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 Type
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 Type
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 Type
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 Body Types
Ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph are commonly used terms for describing general body-build patterns. They are different from shape categories such as hourglass, pear, apple, and rectangle.
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 uses the information you enter to estimate your body type from your measurements and overall build.
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 adjusts its output based on your selected gender. Male results include body types more common in men such as athletic (inverted triangle) and oval. Female results include types like hourglass, pear, and spoon.
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.

FAQ
Body Type Calculator – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about body types, measurements, and how this calculator works.
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.
What is a body type calculator?
A body type calculator estimates your body type from measurements such as height, weight, chest or bust, waist, hips, and optional shoulder width. It compares proportions to identify your most likely body type category — such as hourglass, pear, apple, rectangle, or inverted triangle — and may also indicate build type such as ectomorph, mesomorph, or endomorph.
What is my body type? How do I find out?
To find your body type, measure your bust or chest, waist, and hips using a soft tape measure. Also note your height and weight. Enter those numbers into this body type calculator. The tool compares your proportions and overall build to show your most likely body type — hourglass, pear, apple, rectangle, or inverted triangle.
Is this a female body type calculator?
Yes. Select "Female" before entering your measurements to get a female body type result. Female body types identified by this calculator include hourglass, pear (triangle), apple, rectangle, spoon, and inverted triangle.
Is this a male body type calculator?
Yes. Select "Male" and enter your chest, waist, hips, height, weight, and optional shoulder width to estimate a male body type result. Male body types include rectangle, inverted triangle (athletic/V-shape), oval (apple), and triangle. Shoulder width is especially useful for male body type calculations.
What is the difference between ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph?
Ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph are commonly used terms for describing general body-build patterns. Ectomorph is typically used for a leaner or more slender build, mesomorph for an athletic or muscular-looking build, and endomorph for a rounder or softer build. 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.
What jeans fit my body type?
Jeans fit depends on your body type, waist measurement, hip measurement, rise preference, and inseam length. As a general guide: hourglass types suit high-waist straight or bootcut jeans; pear types suit bootcut or flare jeans that balance wider hips; apple types suit high-rise jeans with a relaxed fit through the waist; rectangle types suit jeans with added detail like distressing or wide-leg cuts; inverted triangle types suit straight-leg or slim jeans that add volume to the lower body.
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.
Is my data saved when I use this calculator?
No. All calculations run entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No measurement data is sent to a server, stored in a database, or shared. This body type calculator is completely free and private.
