BMI Calculator
How This BMI Calculator Works
- For metric: BMI = weight (kg) ÷ [height (m)]².
- For imperial inputs: values are converted to kg/cm, then the same formula is used.
- BMI Prime = BMI ÷ 25 (the upper bound of the “normal” range). Prime < 1 means below 25; > 1 means above.
- Healthy weight range is computed from BMI 18.5–24.9 for your height.
Adult BMI Categories (WHO)
Category | BMI (kg/m²) |
---|---|
Underweight | < 18.5 |
Normal weight | 18.5–24.9 |
Overweight | 25.0–29.9 |
Obesity | ≥ 30.0 |
FAQ – BMI Calculator
What inputs do I need?
Just enter your height and weight (in metric or imperial). The calculator converts and computes BMI automatically.
Do I need to fast or measure at a certain time?
No. BMI uses your current height and weight only.
Why is my category different from other sites?
Some regions use extra sub-classes (e.g., Class I/II/III obesity) or population-specific cutoffs. This tool uses standard WHO adult ranges.
