How the BMI Calculator Works

Our BMI Calculator is a simple tool that helps you determine your Body Mass Index. BMI is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women.

What Is BMI?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. A high BMI can be an indicator of high body fatness. BMI can be used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems but it is not diagnostic of the body fatness or health of an individual.

How This Calculator Determines Your BMI

  1. Input Your Details: Enter your height in centimeters and your weight in kilograms.
  2. BMI Calculation: The calculator uses the standard BMI formula to compute your BMI. The formula is: BMI = kg/m2 where kg is a person's weight in kilograms and m2 is their height in metres squared.
  3. Category Assessment: The calculator then determines your weight category based on your BMI.

Why Use a BMI Calculator?

Using a BMI calculator can help you:

  • Understand Your Weight Status: Quickly see if you are underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.
  • Monitor Your Health: Track your BMI over time to see how your weight is changing.
  • Set Goals: Use your BMI as a starting point for setting weight loss or weight gain goals.
