Body Fat Calculator

What has everyone found to be the most accurate site or app for a Body Fat Calculator? I've used a variety of them, and it ranges from 14% to 30%. My goal is 14%, so it makes it quite difficult to figure out, if I've hit my goal, or if I have a way to go with such a vast difference in information.

I used actual calipers, ones that I can use myself. They are not as accurate as the 7 point ones that someone has to help you with but it's a lot more accurate than online. Site and apps tend to be very inaccurate. You can find some affordable ones on Amazon. I use the Accu-Measure. Really simple but I find it to be pretty accurate once you get use to using them.0

I 2nd calipers, although you can even have someone (or yourself) pinch the skin in the appropriate areas as much as you can and measure the fold that way. And then enter it into a measurement website that asks for caliper measurements.0

I believe this one is quite accurate.

I figured the military ones would be pretty accurate. This one says 14.3%.0
