What Is a BMI Calculator?

A BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator is a simple tool that estimates whether your weight is healthy for your height. It provides a numerical value that helps categorize your weight status—whether you're underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.

Why Use a BMI Calculator?

Calculating your BMI helps you:
✅ Assess Weight Status – Determine if you're in a healthy weight range.
✅ Identify Health Risks – High BMI may indicate increased risk for conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension.
✅ Track Progress – Useful for weight loss or fitness journeys.
✅ Guide Health Decisions – Helps doctors and nutritionists recommend diet and exercise plans.

How Does the Calculator Work?

BMI is calculated using a simple formula:

BMI = Weight (kg) / (Height (m))²
or
BMI = (Weight (lbs) / (Height (in))²) × 703

BMI Categories:

  • Underweight: BMI < 18.5
  • Normal Weight: BMI 18.5 – 24.9
  • Overweight: BMI 25 – 29.9
  • Obese: BMI ≥ 30

Limitations of BMI

While BMI is a useful screening tool, it doesn’t account for:

  • Muscle Mass (Athletes may have a high BMI but low body fat).
  • Bone Density & Body Composition.
  • Age & Gender Differences.
    For a more accurate assessment, consider body fat percentage or waist-to-hip ratio.
