How it works
- BMI (Body Mass Index) is a simple measure that uses your height and weight to estimate whether your weight is in a healthy range. It is calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters (kg/m²).
- This tool reports your weight category using widely used thresholds: underweight (below 18.5), normal (18.5–25), overweight (25–30), and obese (30 and above).
- The ideal weight shown is the weight that corresponds to a BMI of 22, which is associated with the statistically lowest risk of illness.
- BMI does not distinguish between muscle and fat, so athletes and very muscular people may get a high reading. Use the result as a general guide only.
- All calculations run in your browser; nothing you enter is sent anywhere.
