What is BMI?

BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a common screening measurement that compares body weight with height. It is often used to estimate whether an adult is underweight, in a healthy weight range, overweight, or obese.

The formula is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. This calculator handles the formula for you and also shows matching imperial values for easier reading.

BMI categories

  • Below 18.5: underweight.
  • 18.5 to 24.9: healthy weight range.
  • 25 to 29.9: overweight.
  • 30 and above: obese range.
