⚠️ Important Note

BMI is a screening tool and doesn't directly measure body fat or health. Muscle weighs more than fat, so athletes may have a high BMI despite being healthy. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized health advice.

BMI Formula

Metric: BMI = weight (kg) / height² (m²)

Imperial: BMI = [weight (lbs) / height² (in)] × 703

How it works

Formula
Metric: BMI = weight (kg) / height² (m²)
Imperial: BMI = [weight (lbs) / height² (in)] × 703

Example:
Weight: 70 kg, Height: 1.75 m
BMI = 70 / (1.75 × 1.75) = 22.9 (Normal Weight)

The BMI calculator instantly calculates your Body Mass Index using your weight and height. BMI is a simple screening tool that helps classify weight ranges. Enter your measurements in metric (kg, cm) or imperial (lbs, inches) units and instantly see your BMI category.

Why this matters

BMI is a widely used screening tool for assessing weight-related health risks. It helps identify whether someone is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. However, BMI is just one indicator of health—muscle mass, bone density, and overall fitness also matter significantly.
