Ever wondered how your jumping ability compares to NBA legends like Michael Jordan or Zach LaVine? Our vertical jump calculator makes it easy to measure your vertical leap and see how you stack up against some of basketball's most explosive athletes.
What Is a Vertical Jump?
Before we dive in, let's clarify what we're measuring. Your vertical jump is the difference between your standing reach (how high you can reach while standing flat-footed) and your jump reach (how high you can reach at the peak of your jump). This measurement gives us your true vertical leap height.
How to Use Our Calculator
Using our calculator is simple and requires just two measurements:
Standing Reach Height:
Stand flat-footed against a wall
Reach up as high as you can with one arm
Measure this height from the floor (in inches)
Jump Reach Height:
Stand next to the wall
Jump as high as you can and touch the wall at your peak
Measure this height from the floor (in inches)
Enter these two numbers into our calculator, and it will automatically:
Calculate your vertical jump height
Compare your results to NBA legends
Show you where you stand among basketball's highest flyers
Understanding Your Results
The calculator will show you:
Your exact vertical jump height in inches
