About the BMI Calculator
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple screening measure that relates weight to height: BMI = weight in kilograms ÷ (height in metres)². In imperial units the formula is 703 × weight in pounds ÷ (height in inches)².
The result is placed in the World Health Organization adult categories: underweight (below 18.5), normal weight (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9) and obesity (30 and above). The calculator also shows the weight range that corresponds to a normal BMI for your height. BMI does not account for muscle mass, age or body composition, so it is a starting point, not a diagnosis.
How to use the BMI Calculator

Frequently asked questions
What is a healthy BMI?
For adults, a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered a normal or healthy weight by the WHO.
Is BMI accurate for athletes?
Not always. Muscle is denser than fat, so very muscular people can have a high BMI without excess body fat. Waist measurement or body-fat tests give more detail.
Can children use this BMI calculator?
The categories shown are for adults aged 20 and over. Children and teens need age- and sex-specific BMI percentiles.
