See if you can jump high enough to slam-dunk on an NBA regulation basketball hoop using our proprietary MyFitness Dunk Calculator.

Note: This vertical jump calculator is most accurate for heights that are around average.

• If you are shorter than 5'7" (173 cm) your maximum olympic squat may need to be slightly higher to reach the same vertical jump.
• If you are taller than 6'2" (188 cm) your maximum olympic squat may not need to be as high to reach the same vertical jump.
• Use your maximum below parallel squat (preferably full olympic squat) as your one repetition max squat number. This ensures movement efficiency is up to par with the calculations.
• If your vertical jump is lower than what the calculator displays for your current squat, plyometrics need to be incorporated into your workout routine to improve jumping ability.
• If your vertical jump is higher than what the calculator displays for your current squat, focus on strength building to increase your vertical.
