The Ideal Weight Calculator estimates the adult weight range corresponding to BMI 18.5 through 24.9 at a selected height.
The result is a height-based screening range, not one correct weight for every body.
Questions
Is this the same as ideal body weight?
No. Ideal body-weight formulas such as Devine or Hamwi are different from a BMI range. Use the Ideal Body Weight Calculator for those equations.
Does BMI account for muscle?
No. BMI does not distinguish muscle, fat, bone, age, or fat distribution.
Health notice
Do not use this estimate as a treatment target for children, pregnancy, or medical conditions without clinical guidance.
