BMI Calculator

Our BMI calculator is a simple tool designed to help you estimate your Body Mass Index (BMI) based on your weight and height. BMI is a measure that indicates whether you are underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese in relation to your height.

Understanding Body Mass Index (BMI)

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a widely used measurement to assess an individual’s body weight in relation to their height. It provides a rough estimation of body fat and helps categorize individuals into different weight categories.

The BMI formula is calculated as follows:

BMI=Weight in kilogramsHeight in meters2BMI=Height in meters2Weight in kilograms​

Or, if using pounds and inches:

BMI=Weight in pounds×703Height in inches2BMI=Height in inches2Weight in pounds×703​

Example Calculation:

Let’s say a person weighs 70 kilograms and is 1.75 meters tall. Using the formula:

BMI=701.752BMI=1.75270​ BMI=703.0625BMI=3.062570​ $\text{BMI}\approx 22.86$

How to Use:

1. Enter Your Weight: Input your weight in kilograms (kg).
2. Enter Your Height: You can input your height in centimeters (cm) or, if preferred, in feet and inches.

What BMI Indicates:

• Underweight: BMI below 18.5
• Normal Weight: BMI between 18.5 and 24.9
• Overweight: BMI between 25 and 29.9
• Obesity: BMI of 30 or greater

Why Monitor Your BMI?

Maintaining a healthy BMI is essential for overall health and well-being. It gives you an indication of whether your weight falls within a healthy range relative to your height. Understanding your BMI category can help guide you toward making informed decisions about your lifestyle, including diet and exercise.
