Use The Free BMI Calculator As One Indicator Of A Healthy Bodyweight

Have You Got A Healthy Bodyweight Range ?

The free BMI calculator below calculates your weight with respect to your height. Calculating your BMI doesn't indicate how much fat you are carrying but whether you are within a healthy weight range compared with your height.

Feet to Inches Conversion

1 foot = 12 inches.

Example: 5'4' equates to 64 inches

5 x 12 + 4 = 64 inches in height.

Imperial and Metric BMI Equations

The formula for calculating BMI in imperial measurements is written below:

Weight in Pounds / Height in Inches x Height in Inches x 703

If you would like to calculate your body mass index in metric values use the following equation. A metric BMI calculator will be coming soon:

Weight in Kilograms

Height in Meters x Height in Meters

The body mass index can be inaccurate in measuring actual levels of fitness and health. A very thin person can have next to no muscle mass and be very unfit, while a well-built man that by the above table is overweight, is very muscular and physically fit. Professionals now recognize that indicators such as the amount of abdominal fat need to be taken into account when considering the overall health of an individual.

Use the BMI calculator only as a guide. Consult your health care practitioner for other ways of measuring body fat.
