💪 Grip Strength Calculator
Compare your hand grip strength reading to typical values for your age and sex, and see your grip strength index relative to your body weight.
What grip strength measures
Hand grip strength, typically measured with a hand dynamometer, is a simple and widely used indicator of overall muscular strength and is often tracked as part of general fitness and healthy aging assessments.
How the comparison works
This calculator compares your entered grip strength to published normative averages for your age group and sex, expressed as a percentage of that average. It also calculates a grip strength index by dividing your grip strength by your body weight, which allows comparison across different body sizes.
Normative values vary somewhat between studies, populations, and dynamometer types, so treat these figures as general reference points rather than precise medical benchmarks. This tool is for general fitness and educational purposes only and is not a diagnostic or medical assessment.
