Ideal Weight Calculator

Calculate healthy weight range for your height

How to Use

Choose male or female for appropriate calculations.

Input your height in metric or imperial units.

Optionally add current weight for comparison.

See ideal weight from Robinson, Miller, Devine, Hamwi, and BMI methods.

Why are there multiple formulas?

Different formulas were developed for different populations and purposes. We show several to give you a range rather than a single number.

Which formula should I use?

The BMI-based healthy range (18.5-24.9) is most widely accepted. Use the formula averages as guidelines, not strict targets.

Does ideal weight depend on body frame?

Yes, people with larger bone structures may have a higher ideal weight. These formulas provide estimates for average frames.

Is ideal weight the same as healthy weight?

Not necessarily. Ideal weight is an estimate; healthy weight depends on many factors including muscle mass, age, and overall health.
