How to calculate BMI online

Choose metric or imperial units, enter your height and weight, and your BMI and category appear instantly on a visual gauge.

BMI is calculated as weight (kg) ÷ height (m)², and is a general screening measure — it doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition.

BMI is one of several general health indicators used as a starting point — it's simple to calculate but works best alongside other measures like waist circumference or body composition, and isn't a full picture of health on its own.

Frequently asked questions

Is BMI calculated differently for men and women?

No — the BMI formula itself is the same for everyone. However, what counts as a "healthy" range can vary by individual factors, which is why BMI is best used alongside other health measures.

Can this be used for children or teenagers?

No — standard adult BMI ranges don't apply to children and teens, whose healthy ranges vary by age and sex. Pediatric growth charts should be used instead.

What if I only know my height and weight in one unit system?

Use the Metric/Imperial toggle to switch — you don't need to convert anything manually.

What are the BMI categories?

Under 18.5 is underweight, 18.5–24.9 is normal, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30+ is considered obese, per WHO standard ranges.

Is BMI accurate for everyone?

BMI is a general guideline and may not accurately reflect health for athletes, older adults, or those with high muscle mass. It's best used alongside other health measures and professional advice.
