Dunk Calculator โ Can You Dunk? Find Out Instantly
Ever wondered if you can dunk like your favorite NBA star? Our Dunk Calculator is a powerful tool that helps you determine whether you have the vertical leap required to dunk a basketballโbased on your height, standing reach, and vertical jump. This tool is fun, fast, and surprisingly accurate.
๐ฏ What Is a Dunk Calculator?
The Dunk Calculator helps you estimate whether you can touch or dunk a basketball rim. It compares your vertical jump against the height required to reach a 10-foot rim, and tells you:
- ๐ฏ If you can grab the rim
- ๐ฅ If you can dunk with one hand
- ๐ If a two-handed dunk is possible
All it takes is a few numbers to find out how close you are to flying like Jordan.
๐ How the Dunk Calculator Works
The calculator uses this basic logic:
Dunk Height Needed = Rim Height โ Standing Reach
Then, it compares your vertical jump to the dunk height required.
โ๏ธ Example Scenario
Letโs say youโre:
- Height: 6’0″
- Standing Reach: 7’9″
- Vertical Jump: 28 inches
To touch a 10-foot (120 inches) rim:
Required jump = 120 โ 93 (your reach) = 27 inches
Since your jump is 28 inches, yesโyou can touch the rim and probably dunk with one hand.
๐ Dunk Level Chart

< 20 | Can’t reach the rim |
20โ25 | Might grab rim (if tall) |
26โ30 | One-hand dunk (ideal range) |
31โ35 | Easy dunk, two-hand possible |
> 36 | Elite-level dunking ability |
