What Is a BMI Calculator?

A BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator computes a weight-to-height ratio used as a screening indicator for underweight, healthy weight, overweight, and obesity categories. You enter your height and weight in metric or imperial units and receive your BMI value and classification.

BMI is a population-level screening tool, not a diagnostic measure. It is widely used in clinical and public health settings as a quick, low-cost initial assessment that can prompt further evaluation.

How to Calculate BMI

1. Enter your weight in kilograms or pounds
2. Input your height in centimeters or inches
3. The calculator computes your BMI instantly
4. View health category and recommendations

Frequently Asked Questions

Is BMI accurate for athletes?

BMI can overestimate body fat for muscular individuals. For athletes, body fat percentage or waist-to-hip ratio may be more accurate.

What does each BMI category mean?

Below 18.5 is underweight, 18.5-24.9 is normal, 25-29.9 is overweight, 30+ is obese. These are general guidelines, not medical diagnoses.
