The maths behind it
This tool uses BMI = weight in kilograms ÷ (height in metres)². The imperial version is 703 × weight in pounds ÷ (height in inches)², which is the same thing after unit conversion. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.
BMI is a population screening tool, not a diagnosis. It does not distinguish muscle from fat, so athletes often read as "overweight", and it is less reliable for older adults, pregnant women, and for South Asian and East Asian populations where health risk rises at lower BMI values. Talk to a clinician before acting on a number.
Frequently asked questions
Is BMI accurate for muscular people?
No. BMI uses only height and weight, so it cannot tell muscle from fat. A trained athlete can have a BMI over 30 with very low body fat. If you carry significant muscle, body fat percentage or waist measurement is a better guide.
Does BMI work the same for all ethnicities?
Not exactly. The WHO notes that people of South Asian, Chinese and other Asian descent tend to face higher metabolic risk at lower BMI, and several health bodies use a lower overweight threshold of 23 for these groups.
Does the BMI Calculator cost anything?
There is no cost and no cap. The BMI Calculator is not a demo of a paid product, so nothing is held back or watermarked.
Is the BMI Calculator safe to use with private information?
No. The BMI Calculator runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is transmitted, logged or stored, which you can verify yourself in the Network tab of your browser's developer tools.
What formula does the BMI Calculator use?
It uses BMI = weight in kilograms ÷ (height in metres)². The imperial version is 703 × weight in pounds ÷ (height in inches)², which is the same thing after unit conversion. The full working is printed under the result, so you can follow every step rather than trusting a black box.
When would I actually need the BMI Calculator?
Typical uses: a quick screening check against the standard WHO categories. Finding the weight range that would put you in the healthy band for your height. Tracking a trend over months rather than a single reading. It is built for exactly those cases rather than being a general-purpose tool with this bolted on.
Is there a catch?
BMI is a population screening tool, not a diagnosis. It does not distinguish muscle from fat, so athletes often read as "overweight", and it is less reliable for older adults, pregnant women, and for South Asian and East Asian populations where health risk rises at lower BMI values. Talk to a clinician before acting on a number.
What figures does the BMI Calculator work from?
Under 18.5 is Underweight. 18.5 – 24.9 is Healthy weight. 25.0 – 29.9 is Overweight. These are printed on the page itself, so you do not have to take them on trust.
Can I rely on this for exact work?
The calculation runs in double precision and the result is shown to ten significant figures, so converting a value and converting it back returns the original. What is displayed is rounded for readability; what is copied is not.
