BMI Calculator

Calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI) from height and weight and see your weight category.

BMI is a general screening tool and does not diagnose body fatness or health on its own. Consult a healthcare professional for a full assessment.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple measure of weight relative to height, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. It is a screening tool, not a diagnostic measurement, and does not account for muscle mass, bone density or body composition.

Example

  • A person 170cm tall weighing 65kg has a BMI of about 22.5, in the normal weight range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is BMI accurate for everyone?

BMI is a useful screening tool for most adults, but it does not distinguish muscle from fat, so it can overestimate body fat in athletes and underestimate it in older adults who have lost muscle mass.

What is a healthy BMI range?

For most adults, a BMI between 18.5 and 25 is considered the normal weight range.
