Adult Height Predictor Calculator
Curious how tall a child might grow? The mid-parental method uses both parents' heights to estimate the likely adult height, separately for boys and girls. Most children finish within a few centimetres of this rough target.
Enter your details above and the result will appear here.
How to use
- Enter the father height in centimetres.
- Enter the mother height in centimetres.
- Choose boy or girl and read the predicted adult height and range.
Note
Mid-parental height: boys = (father + mother + 13) / 2, girls = (father + mother - 13) / 2. Most children finish within about 8.5 cm of this target, but nutrition, health and genetics all play a part. Estimate only — not medical advice.
