How it works

  • BMI = weight (kg) รท height (m)ยฒ. Imperial input is converted to metric first.
  • Categories: under 18.5 = underweight, 18.5โ€“24.9 = normal, 25โ€“29.9 = overweight, 30+ = obese.
  • BMI is a general screening measure and does not distinguish muscle from fat.

Frequently asked questions

What is a healthy BMI?

A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is generally considered healthy for most adults.

Is BMI accurate for everyone?

BMI is a useful screening tool but does not account for muscle mass, age or body composition, so athletes may read as "overweight" despite low body fat.
