STEP-BY-STEP

Measure your height accurately

1
Find a flat wall
Stand barefoot against a wall with no baseboard or moulding. Make sure your heels, buttocks, and shoulders are touching the wall.
2
Use a book or flat object
Place a hardcover book or clipboard on top of your head. Keep it perfectly level (parallel to the floor). Ask someone to mark the wall at the bottom edge of the book.
3
Measure the mark
Use the on-screen ruler below, a printable ruler, or measure from the floor to the pencil mark. Do this first thing in the morning for best accuracy (your spine decompresses overnight).
4
Record & verify
Enter your measurement below. We recommend measuring twice. Average the two readings. Your real height is usually between morning and evening measurements.
On-screen measuring ruler Reference only
Hold a straight edge (book, phone) against the screen and align with the mark on the wall for reference. Best used on desktop.
Quick height presets (Indian averages)

Click the closest one. You can fine-tune afterwards.

Estimate your height

Useful if you can't measure right now. Arm span is the most reliable proxy.

Measure fingertip to fingertip with arms outstretched
From heel to longest toe
