Health reference
BMI Calculator
Estimate body mass index from height and weight. This is a general reference, not a diagnosis or medical recommendation.
How BMI is calculated
BMI equals weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. The result is commonly used as a broad adult screening measure.
Use with context
BMI can be less informative for athletes, older adults, children, pregnant people, and anyone whose body composition differs from population averages.
Healthy habits
The result can prompt a broader review of sleep, activity, nutrition, medical history, and other measurements rather than a single-number conclusion.
BMI FAQ
Is BMI a medical diagnosis?
No. BMI is a screening estimate. A qualified health professional can interpret it with other health indicators.
Why does height affect the result so much?
The formula divides weight by height squared, so small height differences can noticeably change the estimate.
Can children use this calculator?
Children and teenagers usually need age- and sex-specific BMI percentiles. This page is written for general adult reference.
