What is Height Calculator?
An estimated height calculator predicts adult height using parental measurements and growth patterns.

Height Prediction Formula
The mid-parental formula calculates genetic potential: For boys (Father's height + Mother's height + 13cm) ÷ 2. For girls (Father's height + Mother's height - 13cm) ÷ 2. This result gives the estimated adult height ±5cm.
Height Prediction Table
