This dunk calculator tells you how high you need to jump to dunk a basketball.

It will also give you an estimated force so that you know how much energy is required to jump that high.

The more you bend your knees the less force you’ll need but you will need a lot of energy to take you from that position to the top.

You can increase your vertical by training your legs to be able to deliver that much force.

The Vert Shock Jump Training Program has been shown to dramatically increase your vertical jump following simple home based exercises.

Enter your goal post height, your standing reach, and vertical jump in the dunk calculator below, then click calculate.

How The Calculator Works

Rim Height

The standard height for a professional basketball rim is 10 feet (120 inches).

This is already built into the calculator but you can adjust the number based on your hoop height.

Standing Reach

This is how high you can reach with one hand while standing below the rim.

Vertical Jump

This is how high you can jump off the ground.

You may need a buddy to help you measure this.

Dunk Calculator Formula

Once you input your information, the calculator formulates the difference between the rim height and your reach.

Then using your vertical jump number, it calculates how much more you need to reach the rim.

This makes it easy so you don't have to be figuring out math equations in your head.
