Align bottom of Bootstrap fixed navbar to top of div

Question

I have a fixed navbar on the top of my page and a scrollspy set up with animated scrolling. However, when I click a navigation link, the page scrolls to the point where the top of the navbar aligns with the top of the anchored div . I'd like the bottom of the navbar to align with the top of the anchored div so as to not cover any content in that anchored div . How can I do this?

As far as my code goes, I am starting from this example from W3schools.

To scroll at the top of each sections instead of the additional offset of 50px, you can just subtract 50 from these two:

$('html, body').animate({
        scrollTop: $(hash).offset().top-50
      }, 800, function(){

        // Add hash (#) to URL when done scrolling (default click behavior)
        window.location.hash = hash-50;
      });

Original snippet: (Scrolls to 50 offset from top)
