BMI Calculator

Simply choose between US (pounds with feet and inches) and metric (Kg and cms) and key in your data to calculate your BMI.

Alternatively you can use our BMI Chart to read off your BMI.

What does this result mean for me?

The following is the brief breakdown:

Underweight is a BMI of below 18.5

Normal weight is a BMI in the range: 18.5 to 24.9.

Overweight is a BMI in the range: 25 to 29.9.

Obese is a BMI of 30 and above.

If you are overweight or obese, then you may wish to take your waist measurement, which according to the medical profession should be viewed in tandem with the BMI result. Clearly, if you are significantly overweight, then you may wish to consider reducing your weight, but only if you wish to do so. The medical profession ordering you to reduce your weight is not a good motivator for weight loss, nor is it necessarily a sign that you will be successful if you follow their instruction.

If you are a normal weight, but would like to lower your BMI, then you may wish to consider beginning an intelligent course of weight loss.
