Frame Size (Wrist) Calculator

Use my wrist circumference to determine my frame size.

Since bone structure varies in size from person to person, researchers have added frame size as a factor in helping to determine someone's ideal weight. Knowing your frame size can help you set reasonable weight goals. Enter your height and wrist circumference and this calculator will use standard insurance industry tables to show your frame size and ideal weight range.

lil hey could you please tell me whats up with my body - 3/17/2014 7:54:56 PM

splooge @Luara its just giving an average range. You can be 10-15 pounds over if youre lean ripped with muscle. like im 5 11 with 6 inch wrist and my fighter weight class is 1555(which includes weight cutting). just google manny pacquio wrist size and you should get an article from badlefthook or bloodyelbow. and yes its acurate when you want to pick a weight class if you are a fit athlete. - 12/12/2013 1:18:10 AM

Chloe I have a six inch and a quarter wrist, and I'm 5'1. I have a very large frame for my size. :)) - 5/23/2013 3:06:33 PM

gobble gobble: ) seems fairly accurate to me. 5ft 1inch, 21 inch waist, 28 inch hips, large hands and long toes/fingers, wide feet that are growing in size quote fast now 16. I also swim and run, so look very slim but even slimmer at 45kg because of my bone density - don't feel too underweight though. calculator gives good assumptions. :) - 4/25/2013 1:24:15 AM

roddy i'm 6'5", 92kg and my wrist size is 7.1, size 12.5 feet. I seem to be in balance with the chart but feel I should be heavier. Very general!!!! - 2/20/2013 9:24:52 AM

Joe I'm 6'2 and my wrist size is 9.25 inches. According to this I have a top end ideal weight of 197. This seems low, just after highschool I was 235 and in good shape... I just wonder if this is too general to account for muscle mass etc... - 2/5/2013 1:18:03 PM

Katie im 5'5, my wrist is 4 inches, i have a small frame and my ideal weight is 117-130, i am 109! am i underweight? - 1/30/2013 6:44:40 AM

Anne This is complete nonsense. My wrist is 5.5" and according to this, I have a "small" frame. I nor anyone else I know would consider myself "petite" by any means since I have quite a "big-boned" torso (with not a substantial amount of fat either). - 12/23/2012 8:14:57 PM
