Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is a quick way to see where your weight sits relative to your height. Our free BMI calculator works with both metric and imperial units — kilograms and centimeters, or pounds, feet, and inches — and shows your BMI value, your category, and your healthy weight range.
It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is sent anywhere or stored.
How to Use the BMI Calculator
- Choose metric or imperial units.
- Enter your height and weight.
- See your BMI, your category (underweight, healthy, overweight, or obese), and the healthy weight range for your height.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a healthy BMI?
For most adults, a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy by the World Health Organization’s categories.
Is BMI accurate for athletes?
Not always. BMI does not distinguish muscle from fat, so very muscular people can score high without excess body fat. Treat it as a screening guide, not a diagnosis.
Does BMI work for children?
Children’s BMI is interpreted against age- and sex-specific growth charts, not adult cutoffs — so this calculator is designed for adults.
