BMI Calculator

The BMI Calculator (Body Mass Index Calculator) is used to approximate a healthy body weight relative to an individual's height.

Many interpret the BMI values to approximate the percentage of body fat. However, measuring fat is not the intention of the body mass index.

Several methods can accurately measure body fat, such as hydrodensitometry (submersion in water), and calipers that measure skin fold thickness.

To calculate your BMI, enter your height and weight in the BMI calculator immediately below. You can then use that calculation to approximate your relative fitness using the BMI Chart on the next page.

Important BMI Calculator Notes:

The BMI calculator can overestimate body fat in athletes or individuals with muscular builds.

The BMI calculator can underestimate body fat in older adults who may have lost muscle mass with aging.

The BMI calculator is not intended to diagnose your medical condition. If you have any questions or concerns, please see your doctor.
