BMI calculator

Calculates your body mass index (BMI) from weight in kilograms and height in centimetres, and shows the general category: underweight, normal, overweight or obese. It is a general indicator only, not a diagnosis or a substitute for medical advice. The maths runs on your device.

FAQ

How are categories set?

Below 18.5 is underweight, 18.5 to under 25 normal, 25 to under 30 overweight, and 30 or above obese. These are the general adult cut-offs.

Is it accurate for everyone?

No. BMI cannot tell muscle from fat, so athletes may score high, and the same cut-offs do not apply to children or pregnancy.

Can I enter height in metres?

No, use centimetres. Entering 1.72 gives a wildly wrong result.
