I have a caliper to check my BF, but unsure exactly how & where on the body to pinch.
Equation to calculate with numbers I get.
Please help

Maybe look into an omron fat loss monitor. $36

It's digital and easy to use.
Picking one up myself. Amazon.
I actually have an omron scale w/handheld monitor. It says I'm 10-11% BF. but I don't see that in myself

You cannot perform BF measurements yourself. You need someone else to do it for you, if you really want accuracy.

The handheld/scales ones are garbage... Up to 5-7% margin of error.

I like my Skulpt Chisel ($99)for quick and easy self measurements. It has a 1-3% margin of error compared to the Bod Pod machine I have to schedule to use at my old college.

Sorry the Bod Pod photo turned out so tiny but from left to right:
