How to use this tool

Choose metric or imperial units, enter height and weight, and select Calculate BMI. Metric height is in centimeters; imperial height is in inches, not feet.

What to know about the result

The formula is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. For example, 70 kg and 175 cm gives about 22.9 kg/m². This page gives the numeric result without diagnosing a health condition. BMI does not distinguish fat from muscle and does not describe someone’s overall health.

Frequently asked question

Is this suitable for children or teenagers?

No. Children and teenagers need an age- and sex-specific assessment. This simple adult calculator should not be used to interpret their growth or health.
