The BMI Calculator is used to calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index) and determine if you are at a healthy weight for your height. Use this calculator for adults, 20 years old and older.
The body mass index (BMI) is a statistical measure which compares a person's weight and height. Though it does not actually measure the percentage of body fat, it is used to estimate a healthy body weight based on a person's height. BMI is a useful tool to determine if your weight is within the normal range, or if you are underweight, overweight or obesity.
Body mass index is defined as the individual's body weight divided by the square of his or her height.
Body Mass Index can be calculated using pounds and inches with the following formula:
BMI = (Weight in Pounds) x 703 / [(Height in inches) x (Height in inches)]
Body Mass Index can also be calculated using kilograms and metres with the following formula:
BMI = (Weight in Kilograms) / [(Height in Meters) x (Height in Meters)]
