Frequently Asked Questions
In Metric: BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m))^2. In Imperial: BMI = (weight (lbs) * 703) / (height (inches))^2.
Underweight: BMI < 18.5 | Normal weight: 18.5–24.9 | Overweight: 25.0–29.9 | Obesity Class I: 30.0–34.9 | Obesity Class II: 35.0–39.9 | Obesity Class III: 40.0+.
BMI does not distinguish between lean muscle mass and body fat. Athletes with high muscle mass may have a high BMI while having very low body fat. For a more comprehensive metabolic assessment, consider pairing BMI with our BMR calculator.
No. Your BMI, including a child's percentile, is calculated in your browser and nothing is stored. If you click the optional AI advice button (for adults), only your BMI, category and healthy weight range are sent to our AI provider to write the advice.
For adults, the WHO categories and healthy weight range are the same at every age. For children and teens aged 2 to 19, BMI is compared with others of the same age and sex on the CDC BMI-for-age growth charts. Enter the age and choose boy or girl, and the calculator shows the percentile, the category for that age and a healthy weight for that age and height.
The BMI formula (weight kg ÷ height m², or weight lb ÷ height in² × 703) is the same at every age. What age changes is how the result is read: from age 20 the adult WHO categories apply, while from 2 to 19 the calculator finds the BMI-for-age percentile on the CDC chart for that age (to the month, if you enter decimals such as 10.5) and sex.
Not for adults: the healthy range of 18.5 to 24.9 is the same at every adult age. For children and teens it does. A healthy weight for age is the 5th to below the 85th percentile, overweight is the 85th to below the 95th, and obesity is the 95th or above. For example, a BMI of 20.9 is overweight for a 10-year-old girl but a healthy weight for a 15-year-old girl.
Yes, from age 2. Enter their height, weight and age, then choose boy or girl. You get their BMI-for-age percentile and category from the CDC growth charts, and the healthy weight range for their age and height. Growth changes BMI quickly in childhood, so talk to a doctor before changing what a child eats.
Yes, it is free with no sign-up. Your BMI is calculated in your browser and nothing is stored. Only the optional AI advice sends your BMI, category and healthy weight range to our AI provider.
