How healthy weight is calculated
This calculator uses a standard BMI healthy range of 18.5 to 24.9. For your height, it finds the weight that corresponds to those BMI values and shows a healthy range.
Healthy BMI range explained
BMI is calculated as weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared. It’s a simple screening metric that doesn’t directly measure body fat or muscle mass.
Healthy weight vs ideal weight
Healthy weight is a BMI-based range. Ideal weight formulas may use different assumptions and can produce different values. Use both as reference points, especially if you have higher muscle mass.
