Understand Your Body Mass Index
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple measure that uses your height and weight to work out if your weight is healthy. Our BMI Calculator provides a quick and easy way to calculate your BMI and understand what it means for your overall health.
While BMI is not a perfect measure and doesn’t account for factors like muscle mass, it can be a useful starting point for assessing your weight in relation to your height. It’s widely used by health professionals as a screening tool for weight categories that may lead to health problems.
How to Use Our BMI Calculator
- Choose your preferred unit system (metric or imperial).

Our calculator provides BMI categories based on World Health Organization guidelines. These categories are underweight (below 18.5), normal weight (18.5 to 24.9), overweight (25 to 29.9), and obese (30 or above). However, these are general guidelines and may not be appropriate for all individuals, such as athletes or older adults.
