Bike Saddle Height Calculator
Welcome to MyVeloFit's bike seat height calculator. Saddle height is one of the most important aspects of bicycle setup - get it right and you'll be comfortable and efficient. Get it wrong and at best you'll be uncomfortable and inefficient and at worst you'll risk serious injury. We built this tool to both help you get to your reasonable seat height but also understand all the variables involved in determining your saddle height. We strongly suggest you only use this method to get to a starting position and to a biomechanical assessment tool (such as our AI powered bike fit) to determine your ideal position.

Saddle Height is mm
Virtual Seat Tube Angle is °
How to Use The Ultimate Bicycle Seat Height Calculator:
Step 1
Measure from your hip bone to the floor and enter that measurement in centimeters on the first slider.
Step 2
Measure from your hip bone to the center of your knee and enter that measurement in centimeters on the second slider.
Step 3
Measure from your knee to your ankle and enter that measurement in centimeters on the third slider.
Step 4
Measure from your heel to your big toe and enter that measurement in centimeters on the fourth slider.
You'll now have a somewhat accurate idea of what your target seat height could be. But wait, there is more. You can also adjust your crank length, desired knee flexion and cleat position and see how that affects both your seat height and your virtual seat tube angle (from the bottom bracket to the center of your saddle). Feel free to play around with various inputs and see how your potential seat position changes.
Considerations: The first thing you'll notice with our Seat Height Calculator is that there is a vast range of potential seat heights that will work with your body. What this really shows is the true limitations of the majority of seat height calculators out there. Most of which take one to three leg measurements and out but a single number. This number doesn't take into account your flexibility, equipment or cleat position.
Awesome software!
Was suffering from saddle numbness and pain. No more issues after getting a bike fit through MyVeloFit. Will use it again once I get my triathlon bike

This is a great option
This is a great option to help dial in a bike fit from home. I’ve made upgrades to both of my bikes based on recommendations I’ve gotten through MyVeloFit.

So much more convenient
I am very satisfied with the results, and it was so much more convenient to ride at home and upload videos than having to go to a bike shop for a professional fit.

I knew I had to go all in
I was skeptical about an AI-driven bike fit, but after using MyVeloFit has me lower, longer, & more comfortable than I’ve ever been before.

An Excellent Product!
I have been using myvelofit for just over one year in a large bicycle retail shop and I do about six to eight fittings per week. It is an excellent product that in the hands of an experienced fitter generates very in depth information about riding position and ranges of motion, comparable to other fit systems such as Retul.
