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.

Step-by-step calculation

Inputs are substituted below. Each line evaluates the next operation; intermediate values are displayed to 12 significant digits while the calculation uses full precision.

    Saved scenario

    Save the current answer, then change an input to compare. This clears when you leave.

    Formula and assumptions

    Non-fat mass = total mass × (1 − fat percentage/100). The result inherits the uncertainty of the body-fat measurement. No body-fat prediction equation, target range, diagnosis or diet recommendation is supplied.

    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.

    A worked example

    Example inputs: total body mass = 80, measured body-fat percentage = 20. Mass excluding body fat = 64.

    Before you use the result

    Non-fat mass = total mass × (1 − fat percentage/100). The result inherits the uncertainty of the body-fat measurement. No body-fat prediction equation, target range, diagnosis or diet recommendation is supplied.

    Example results for total body mass

    These examples use Measured body-fat percentage: 20. They are reference calculations, not recommended settings.
