BMI Calculator

Your entries are calculated in this browser and are not saved by this tool.

This result is an estimate and does not diagnose, prevent or treat any condition. Consult a qualified health professional.

How the BMI Calculator works

Estimate body mass index and the standard adult screening category. Enter the requested values in the tool above, select Calculate, and review both the main result and its breakdown.

Formula used

Metric BMI = weight in kilograms ÷ height in meters². US BMI = 703 × pounds ÷ inches².

Worked example

70 kg and 175 cm gives a BMI of about 22.86.

Practical uses

  • Screen an adult weight-to-height ratio
  • Track a general trend
  • Discuss context with a clinician

Assumptions and limits

Health results are screening estimates, not a diagnosis. Individual needs and clinical circumstances can differ. For reproducibility, record the inputs and assumptions used when sharing a result.

Frequently asked questions

Are the values I enter stored?

Use it as an educational estimate, verify important inputs, and seek qualified advice when the decision carries financial, medical, tax or legal consequences.
