BMI Calculator

Estimate body mass index from height and weight, then compare the result with standard adult BMI categories. BMI is a screening number, not a full health diagnosis.

Calculate BMI

Enter height and weight.

BMI formula

BMI = weight kg ÷ height m²

Example: 75 kg and 1.80 m gives 75 ÷ 1.80² = 23.1.

Health note: BMI can be misleading for children, pregnancy, older adults, athletes, or people with unusually high or low muscle mass.

BMI categories for adults

  • Below 18.5: underweight range
  • 18.5 to 24.9: healthy weight range
  • 25.0 to 29.9: overweight range
  • 30.0 and above: obesity range
