Healthy ranges

The BMI healthy range offers a simple way to estimate a weight span that's typically associated with lower health risks.

Use alongside body composition

Athletes or very muscular individuals may fall outside BMI norms. Combine this with body-fat estimates for context.

FAQ

What is a healthy weight for my height?

This healthy weight calculator estimates the weight range linked to a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 for your height. It gives a useful range, not a single perfect target.

Is healthy weight based only on BMI?

This page uses BMI guidelines, so the result is based on height and body weight. It does not directly measure body composition, frame size, or athletic build.

What is the difference between healthy weight and ideal weight?

Healthy weight usually refers to a broader BMI-based range, while ideal weight calculators compare multiple formulas that try to estimate a single reference point.
