What is it?
The Ideal Weight Calculator shows a healthy weight range for your height and sex. It also gives the results of four well-known formulas (Devine, Robinson, Miller and Hamwi) so you can compare them.
Who is it for?
Adults setting a weight goal, people starting fitness plans, and anyone curious how a healthy weight is estimated for their height.

Which number should I use?
- The healthy range is the most useful: any weight in it is considered healthy for most adults.
- The four formulas were made for medicine dosing in the 1960s–80s, from height above 5 feet. They give one number each and disagree by a few kg. Treat them as a rough middle point, not a target.
Who it doesn’t fit
- Children and teenagers: use growth charts with a doctor.
- Athletes and muscular people: muscle weighs more, so a healthy person can be “over” the range.
- Older adults, pregnant women, and people under about 150 cm, where the formulas are least reliable.
- For South Asians, health guidelines often suggest a lower BMI cut-off (overweight from 23), because risk of diabetes rises at lower weights.
Waist size matters too: see the Waist-to-Hip Ratio calculator. This is general information, not medical advice.
