What is a BMI Calculator?

A BMI Calculator computes your body mass index from your height and weight. Enter height in centimeters and weight in kilograms, press Calculate, and the tool divides weight by the square of height in meters, then classifies the result as underweight, normal, overweight or obese.

How is BMI calculated?

BMI is weight (kg) divided by height in meters squared. A 70 kg person of 1.75 m has a BMI of about 22.9, which is a normal range. According to the WHO, below 18.5 is underweight, 18.5–25 normal, 25–30 overweight and above 30 obese.

Color scale and table

Your result is marked on a colored bar that runs from underweight to obese, so you see your category at a glance. The scale table below lists all ranges and categories in detail, highlighting your current one automatically.

How reliable is BMI?

BMI is a practical population indicator but not a medical diagnostic tool. It can mislead in muscular individuals, older adults, children and during pregnancy. Use results for information only and consult a physician for any health concerns.

Is my data safe?

Yes. All calculations run in your browser; your height and weight are never sent or stored. No signup, no install and completely free.
