Calculate your Body Mass Index and check if you're in a healthy weight range
What is BMI Calculator?
BMI (Body Mass Index) Calculator is a tool that helps you determine if your weight is healthy for your height. It's widely used by healthcare professionals as a screening tool for weight categories.
How BMI is Calculated
BMI is calculated using the formula: BMI = weight (kg) / [height (m)]²
For imperial units: BMI = (weight in pounds / [height in inches]²) × 703
BMI Ranges
- Underweight: BMI less than 18.5
- Normal weight: BMI 18.5 to 24.9
- Overweight: BMI 25 to 29.9
- Obese: BMI 30 or greater
Limitations of BMI
While BMI is a useful screening tool, it doesn't directly measure body fat. Athletes with high muscle mass may have a high BMI but low body fat. Always consult healthcare professionals for personalized advice.
