BMI Calculator — What it is and how to use it

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a quick screening tool used to estimate whether a person has a healthy body weight for their height. This BMI calculator gives an instant BMI score based on the height and weight values you enter in metric or imperial units. It’s intended as a general guide and follows commonly accepted BMI categories used by health professionals.

How to use the BMI calculator

Choose Metric or Imperial, enter your height and weight, then click Calculate. The tool displays your BMI score and highlights which category you fall into: underweight, healthy weight, overweight, or obesity. Use the Reset button to clear inputs.

Limitations and accuracy

BMI is a simple ratio of weight to height and does not measure body fat directly. It does not distinguish between muscle and fat, and may misclassify very muscular people, older adults or children. For personalized assessment—especially if you are an athlete, pregnant, or have a medical condition—consult a healthcare professional.
