What is BMI Calculator?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a value derived from your weight and height: weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared (kg/m²). Standard categories are: under 18.5 (underweight), 18.5–24.9 (normal), 25–29.9 (overweight), and 30+ (obese).
BMI is a simple screening tool, not a measure of health on its own. It doesn't distinguish muscle from fat, so very athletic people can score "overweight" despite being healthy. Use it as a starting point, not a verdict.
About the BMI Calculator
The BMI Calculator works out your Body Mass Index from your height and weight, in metric or imperial units, and shows which standard category you fall into — underweight, normal, overweight or obese. Enter your numbers and get the result instantly.
BMI is a widely used, quick screening number that estimates whether your weight is in a healthy range for your height. It's popular with individuals tracking fitness goals and is used by health organizations as a population-level indicator.
The calculation runs in your browser and isn't stored. Remember BMI is a general guide, not a diagnosis — it doesn't account for muscle mass, age or body composition, so treat it as one data point.
