BMI Calculator

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a quick screening measure that relates your weight to your height. This free BMI calculator works in both metric (cm/kg) and imperial (ft, in/lb) units. Enter your height and weight and it instantly calculates your BMI, tells you which category you fall into — underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese — and shows the healthy weight range for your height. Note that BMI is a general screening tool, not a diagnosis; it doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition, so it's worth discussing your results with a doctor for a fuller picture.

FAQ

What is a healthy BMI range?

For most adults, a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered a normal, healthy range.

Is BMI accurate for athletes?

Not always — BMI doesn't distinguish muscle from fat, so very muscular people can show a higher BMI despite low body fat.
