About Fat-free mass index (FFMI) calculator

Fat-free mass index compares lean mass to height, like BMI but without fat. Compute lean mass from weight and body fat, divide by height in metres squared, then normalise to 1.8 m. Natural lifters are often below about 25, so scores far above that deserve a second look.

How to use Fat-free mass index (FFMI) calculator

  1. Enter your weight, height and body fat percentage.
  2. Check the FFMI and the normalised value.
  3. Compare it with the natural range shown.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good FFMI for a natural lifter?

Most natural men fall between 18 and 25. Scores above 25 are rare without performance-enhancing drugs, though not impossible.

What is normalised FFMI?

It adjusts the value to a standard height of 1.80 metres so people of different heights can be compared more fairly.

Is a high FFMI proof of steroid use?

No. The natural limit is a rough guide and body fat estimates can be inaccurate. A single number cannot prove anything about a person.
