Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple screening number that relates your weight to your height. It is calculated as weight (kg) ÷ height (m)² and gives a quick indication of whether your weight is in a healthy range for your height.

How it works

  1. 1 Choose metric (cm/kg) or imperial (ft-in/lb) units.
  2. 2 Enter your height and weight.
  3. 3 We compute BMI = weight ÷ height² and match it to the WHO category.
  4. 4 Results are calculated in your browser and never leave your device.

Frequently asked questions

What is a healthy BMI?
For most adults, a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered a healthy weight. Below 18.5 is underweight, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30 or above is classified as obese.
How is BMI calculated?
BMI is your weight in kilograms divided by the square of your height in metres (kg/m²). For imperial units, BMI = 703 × weight(lb) ÷ height(in)².
Is BMI accurate for everyone?
BMI is a useful general screening tool but it does not distinguish muscle from fat. Athletes may show a high BMI despite low body fat, and it is not intended for children, pregnant people, or the elderly without clinical context.
