Height Prediction Formula

The calculator uses the following formula to estimate your baby's height:

Predicted Height = (Mother's Height - 13 cm) + (Father's Height - 13 cm) / 2 + 6.5 cm

This formula accounts for the average reduction in height from parents to children and adds the average height gain during childhood.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Average Family

Mother: 165 cm (5'5")

Father: 180 cm (5'11")

Calculation: (165 - 13) + (180 - 13) / 2 + 6.5 = 152 + 167 / 2 + 6.5 = 152 + 83.5 + 6.5 = 242 cm (7'11")

Example 2: Shorter Parents

Mother: 155 cm (5'1")

Father: 160 cm (5'3")

Calculation: (155 - 13) + (160 - 13) / 2 + 6.5 = 142 + 147 / 2 + 6.5 = 142 + 73.5 + 6.5 = 222 cm (7'3")
