Estimated frame size
Estimate only — a general guideline, not a medical assessment.
How it works
- Enter your height and wrist circumference.
- The height-to-wrist ratio is calculated.
- See your estimated frame size classification.
Estimation divides height by wrist circumference and compares the result against standard small/medium/large ratio thresholds — the common formula used in nutrition and fitness guidelines for a rough frame size estimate.
