BMI Calculator

Calculate your Body Mass Index and find out which range you are in. Free and instant.

How does it work?

BMI (Body Mass Index) relates your weight to your height: weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. The WHO uses it to classify underweight, normal, overweight and obesity.

It is an indicative metric: it does not tell muscle from fat, so treat it as a first reference, not a diagnosis.

Frequently asked questions

How is BMI calculated?

Divide your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m → 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) = 22.9 (normal).

What are the BMI ranges?

According to the WHO: below 18.5 underweight; 18.5–24.9 normal; 25–29.9 overweight; 30 or more obesity.

Is BMI useful for athletes?

With caveats: muscle mass weighs a lot, so a muscular person can show as overweight while being fit. In that case, body fat percentage is a better indicator.
