Lean Body Mass Calculator

Estimate lean body mass from body weight and body-fat percentage with the standard formula, a worked example and a free calculator.

How do you calculate lean body mass?

Lean body mass is body weight minus estimated fat mass.

Formula: body weight × (1 − body-fat percentage ÷ 100).

Example: at 80 kg and 20% body fat, estimated lean body mass is 80 × 0.80 = 64 kg.

The result is an estimate and depends on the accuracy of the body-fat input; it is not a medical diagnosis.
