This fat free mass index calculator finds your FFMI — muscle mass relative to height — from lean body mass and height. Enter the values above.

Formula

FFMI = Lean body mass(kg) ÷ height(m)²
Adjusted FFMI = FFMI + 6.1 × (1.8 − height in m)

Example

LBM 61.4 kg, height 1.8 m: FFMI = 61.4 ÷ 1.8² = 18.95.

Typical FFMI

Around 18-20 is average for men, with natural trained lifters often reaching the low-to-mid 20s.
