How this calculator works
The result depends on the numbers you enter and the assumptions shown below.

Height conversions are straightforward: 1 inch = 2.54 cm. The mid-parental height method estimates a child's adult height: boys = (father + mother + 5 inches) / 2; girls = (father + mother - 5 inches) / 2.

Review the inputs carefully and treat the output as an estimate. For decisions involving money, taxes, health, law, or security, compare the result with trusted professional guidance when needed.

Frequently asked questions
