Precision and calculation record
Rounding changes displayed numbers, not the calculation. Text, fractions, matrices and CSV schedules keep their own formatting. Automatic keeps up to 12 significant digits, with money shown to cents where applicable.
Saved scenario
Save the current answer, then change an input to compare. This clears when you leave.
Formula and assumptions
This page implements the current WHtR calculation, not a body-fat percentage. Use measurements recorded under Army procedures. A recorded ratio below 0.550 meets the numerical threshold; 0.550 does not. This is an unofficial arithmetic check, not an official assessment, confirmation test or exemption decision. Policy checked 29 September 2026.
Automatic precision shows numbers to 12 significant digits. Thousands separators such as 1,000 are accepted; use a dot for decimals.
Scratch calculator
Use +, −, ×, ÷, parentheses and %. A percentage is divided by 100. This does not change the main tool.
Reset reloads the tool with its starting values and releases open files and device controls. Saved drafts stay on this device until you delete them.
Links include your inputs and settings. Anyone with the link can see them, so leave out private text. Files and generated results are left out; random draws run again.
