How It Works

Enter your height and weight to calculate your Body Mass Index. The tool categorizes your result and shows your healthy weight range.

  • Metric: Enter height in centimeters and weight in kilograms. BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)²
  • Imperial: Enter height in feet and inches and weight in pounds. BMI = (weight / height²) × 703
  • Categories: Underweight (<18.5), Normal (18.5-24.9), Overweight (25-29.9), Obese (30+)
