What weight do I need to reach my target body fat percentage?

Enter your current weight and body fat percent, your target body fat percent, and the percent of weight change that is fat. The calculator returns your exact target weight and shows fat and lean mass.

Does the calculator work for both cutting and bulking?

Yes. Choose Cut or Bulk. For cuts, set the percent of weight loss that is fat. For bulks, set the percent of weight gain that is fat.

What percent of weight change is fat by default?

The default is 75% for cuts and 50% for bulks. You can adjust this to match your training and nutrition.

Body Fat % Goal = ((Current Weight × Current Body Fat Percentage) − ((Current Weight − Target Weight) × Percentage of Weight Loss or Gain That's Fat Mass)) / Target Weight

Target Weight = Current Weight × (Current Body Fat Percentage − Percentage of Weight Loss or Gain That’s Fat Mass) / (Body Fat % Goal − Percentage of Weight Loss or Gain That’s Fat Mass)

Note: treat all percentages as decimals in calculations (e.g., 22% → 0.22). The same equations work for cuts and bulks.
