What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple measurement that estimates body fat based on height and weight. While it doesn't directly measure body fat, it provides a useful screening tool for weight categories that may indicate health risks.
Our BMI calculator supports both metric (kg/cm) and imperial (lbs/ft) units. It instantly calculates your BMI and shows your weight category β underweight, normal, overweight, or obese. Remember that BMI is a general guide and may not be accurate for athletes, pregnant women, or elderly individuals.
BMI Categories
- Below 18.5: Underweight
- 18.5 - 24.9: Normal weight
- 25.0 - 29.9: Overweight
