Frame Size (Wrist) Calculator

Previous Calculator   Next 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.

EMoney   Wrist is 9 inches..5'11 male and I'm 150 lbs..no wonder people call me anorexic, I'm way under ideal weight!! o_o - 1/26/2012 6:18:44 PM

Ash   I have a 6.5in wrist...I use a measuring tape to measure it. When you use your fingers, its your thumb and index finger... - 12/13/2011 6:51:15 AM

Brianna   Dear M, At least you have normal sized wrists. I am everything that you described. Female, 5'8 or 5'9, size 10 shoes, large palms, long fingers, my collar bones stick out, and I have wide hips, and bony ankles. The only difference is my wrists are 6" in circumference, making my body "small framed." Now my ideal weight is 129-142, which is an issue because at my smallest, I was 145, and I was considered "skinny" because of my shape. So I don't think the wrist is the best way to determine body frame. Try elbow width. That might give you better results. - 10/15/2011 2:35:02 PM

M   I'm female, 26 years old, 5'8"-5'9" depending on the day. I wear size 10 in womens shoes, have large palms and very long fingers, and my wrist is a bit past 6.5". Because of my long fingers, my middle and thumb overlap quite a bit around my wrist (small frame) but the circumference of my wrist shows med-large frame. This is a bit confusing but I believe myself to be "big boned" due to big feet and hands, wide hips, and looking "bony" (collar bone sticks out, ribs stick out, wrists are bony, very bony ankles) even when overweight. - 9/21/2011 2:07:30 PM

Rilea   I have small hands and feet (small wrist) but other bone structure hips, legs and shoulders are not small. I weighed the weight for my wrist size before and was way too thin. - 2/26/2011 7:01:31 AM

Jane   please include information about how to measure correctly the wrist circumference - 6/17/2010 11:08:54 AM

Johnny   My wrist is about 6.50, but my fingers overlap enough to cover a nail. - 8/1/2009 8:35:20 AM

Levarfan   Tried this with a few of us and it definitely coincided with our impressions of who had larger frames (not fat, bones) and whose were smaller. Thanks! - 7/29/2009 6:53:09 AM

Courtney   um it says im a large frame but im really really small...hmmm. i can overlap my fingers around my wrist. doesn't that mean im a small frame? - 7/10/2009 1:26:29 AM

cat   Well I must be off the scale as Large undefined at 6 foot 2 and female How rude.Lol and I weigh nothing cool :0) - 4/22/2009 12:59:21 PM

R.M.   Mine came up "undefined." Apparently the calculator doesn't believe that men under 5'6" exist. My stats came up as small frame when entered as female, so I guess I can't possibly be anything else, though the given ideal weight isn't quite accurate. - 2/8/2009 9:42:32 AM

christy   LOL wtheck! They said My frame size is medium and my ideal weight should be 115-129 pounds! And right now I weigh 93.8! - 3/16/2008 4:20:16 PM
