WHAT THIS TOOL IS FOR

This BMI calculator works out body mass index from height and weight.

Use metric inputs in centimetres and kilograms, or imperial inputs in feet, inches, stone and pounds.

BMI is a screening measure, not a full health diagnosis.

HOW TO USE IT

Choose metric or imperial units. Enter your height and weight, then press SOLVE.

The calculator converts the values if needed, applies the BMI formula and shows the adult BMI category.

BMI FORMULA

Metric formula: BMI = weight in kg ÷ height in metres squared.

Example: 170 cm is 1.70 m. BMI = 70 ÷ (1.70 × 1.70).

Imperial entries are converted to kg and metres first.

BMI CATEGORIES

Underweight: below 18.5. Healthy: 18.5 to 24.9.

Overweight: 25 to 29.9. Obese: 30 and above.

Adults, children, athletes and pregnant people may need different interpretation.

WORKED EXAMPLE

Height = 170 cm, so height in metres = 1.70 m.

Weight = 70 kg. BMI = 70 ÷ (1.70 × 1.70).

BMI = 24.2, which is in the healthy adult BMI range.
