Use this vertical jump calculator to find your jump height from your standing reach and highest jump touch. Enter both measurements in inches or centimeters. The result shows your vertical jump in both units.

How jump height is measured
Use the same wall mark or jump device for both measurements. Record your reach with your feet flat, then record the highest touch from your jump. Jump height equals the highest touch minus your standing reach.
Example
A 114-inch jump touch minus a 90-inch standing reach gives a 24-inch vertical jump. That is 60.96 centimeters.
Compare using the same setup
Keep footwear, surface, arm swing, and jump style consistent if you want to compare attempts. A running approach and a standing jump are separate tests.
Measure both reaches from the same floor
Use the same units and the same reference point for both marks. If your standing reach is 7 feet 6 inches and your jump touch is 9 feet 6 inches, enter 90 and 114 in inch mode. The difference is 24 inches.
Record the precision of the test
If your jump device marks half inches, keep both measurements at that precision in your log. For several attempts, write down which result you entered, such as the highest valid touch. A best attempt and an average answer different questions when you compare sessions.
