Since July 2026 the Army no longer uses weight tables or the tape test. A soldier passes if waist at the navel divided by height is under 0.55. Enter your height and waist to see your ratio and the largest waist that passes at your height. Free, no sign-up.

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Shubham. I run Get Tips For Better Life, a small site of free health calculators.
In July 2026 the Army replaced its height and weight tables and the neck-and-waist tape test with one check: waist at the navel divided by height must be under 0.55 (Army Directive 2026-13). Most calculators people find online still use the old tape formula, so I built one that follows the new rule.
What it does:
Works in feet/inches or centimeters
Shows your ratio and whether it passes
Tells you the largest waist that passes at your height, to the half inch
Flags results that are close to the line, where half an inch on the tape matters
Has a "Share my result" link that opens with your numbers filled in
No sign-up, no ads in the tool, nothing saved. The page lists the sources.
I'm not a doctor or a soldier, so if you serve or work with recruits and something reads wrong, please tell me here. I'd rather fix it than have someone rely on a mistake.
