How it is calculated
- BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)².
- When feet and pounds are used, BMI = 703 × weight (lb) ÷ height (in)².
- BMI is rounded to one decimal place. The category is decided by the rounded value.
- Normal weight range = the lower and upper BMI limits of the normal category × height (m)².
- BMI is used to check whether body weight is in a suitable range. It is not a diagnosis.
- All calculations are done in your browser. The details you enter are not sent to any server.
