How it works

How to use

Enter your height in centimetres and weight in kilograms. The calculator shows your BMI, the category it falls into, and the healthy weight range for your height.

Formula

BMI = weight in kilograms ÷ height in metres squared. A BMI below 18.5 is usually classed as underweight, 18.5 to 24.9 as healthy weight, 25 to 29.9 as overweight, and 30 or above as obesity.

Example

70 kg at 1.75 m gives BMI = 70 ÷ 3.0625 = 22.9. That falls within the healthy weight range. For a height of 1.75 m, the healthy weight range is about 56.7 kg to 76.2 kg.

When it helps

Useful as a quick general health reference, when preparing for a health appointment, or when tracking broad weight changes over time. BMI is only a rough guide and does not account for muscle mass, pregnancy, age, or individual health context.

What do you want to do next?

Try time or savings goals next if you are planning routines, habits, or a longer-term goal over time.

FAQ

Is BMI a reliable health measure?+

BMI is useful as a quick general reference, but it is not a full health assessment. It does not account for muscle mass, pregnancy, age, body composition, or medical history.

Can I use metric and imperial units?+

This version uses centimetres and kilograms only. If your measurements are in feet, inches, or pounds, convert them first and then enter the metric values.

What is a healthy BMI range?+

For many adults, a BMI from 18.5 to 24.9 is usually classed as healthy weight. This is general guidance and may not apply to every person.
