FAQ

BMI equals weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Imperial values are converted to metric before the calculation.

No. It does not distinguish muscle from fat and can be misleading for athletes, older adults, pregnant people and children. It is a screening indicator, not a diagnosis.

Your BMI divided by 25. Anything above 1 means you are above the upper end of the healthy range.

About this tool: BMI Calculator

Body Mass Index, calculated and explained

The BMI Calculator computes your Body Mass Index from height and weight, in metric or imperial units, and places the result on the standard WHO scale — underweight, normal, overweight or obese — with the healthy weight range for your height spelled out.

BMI is a screening number, not a diagnosis: it tells you where your weight sits relative to height so you can track changes over time and know when to seek professional advice. The tool shows both the number and its category, so a value means the same thing every time you check.

Everything is computed in your browser; no measurement is stored or sent anywhere. Use it consistently — same time of day, same scale — and treat the trend, not a single reading, as the meaningful signal. For medical decisions, always consult a healthcare professional.
