Can't tell: If you started puberty at age 12 (first got pubic hair), then you may have another inch or two. If you started earlier, you may be done with your growth.

Depends: An x-ray of your hand can be assessed for bone maturity and indicate your growth potential.If it reads out like an 18 yo you are likely done, 16 maybe an 1 inch +, if 15 maybe 3.
