How to Calculate BMI

Choose metric (kg/cm) or imperial (lbs/ft) units. Enter your weight and height. The calculator instantly computes your BMI and shows which category you fall into: underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.

Understanding BMI Categories

BMI is calculated as weight divided by height squared. While useful as a quick health screening tool, BMI doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition. Athletes may have a high BMI due to muscle mass. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized health assessments.
