About this calculator
Overview
Growth percentiles are used by pediatricians to track a child's growth over time. These figures show how a child's height and weight compare to other children of the same age and sex. A child in the 50th percentile is exactly in the middle of the pack.
💡
Pro Tips
Track measurements regularly (every 3-6 months) to see the growth trend.
Different charts are used for breastfed vs. formula-fed infants in some regions.
If a child crosses two major percentile lines (e.g., from 75th to 25th), consult a pediatrician.

Fun Facts
"Growth is not always a steady straight line; children often grow in 'spurts'."
"The most important factor is following a consistent curve, not the absolute percentile."
"Genetics plays a major role in determining a child's height and weight potential."
"Head circumference is equally important for infants up to 2 years old."
Formula: Calculated by comparing measurements against WHO/CDC growth reference data.
