Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is BMI?
Body Mass Index is a screening measure that relates your weight to your height. It places you in a category such as underweight, healthy weight, overweight or obese.
How is BMI calculated?
BMI equals weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. The calculator does the math instantly in either metric or imperial units.
What is a healthy BMI range?
The commonly cited healthy range is 18.5 to 24.9. Ranges are population guidelines, not personal diagnoses.
Is BMI accurate for everyone?
Not always. Very muscular people, athletes, older adults and pregnant women can get misleading results because BMI cannot distinguish muscle from fat.
Is this medical advice?
No. BMI is a general screening tool. Talk to a healthcare professional for personal health guidance.
Is the BMI calculator free?
Yes. Free with no signup.
Does BMI work the same for athletes, children, and older adults?
Not exactly. Athletes with high muscle mass can have a high BMI without excess body fat, since BMI does not distinguish muscle from fat. For children and teens, BMI is interpreted against age and sex percentile charts rather than adult cutoffs. For older adults, a slightly higher BMI can be normal. BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnosis.
What BMI is considered obese?
A BMI of 30 or higher is classified as obese: 30 to 34.9 is Class 1 obesity, 35 to 39.9 is Class 2, and 40 or above is Class 3. A BMI between 25 and 29.9 is classified as overweight, 18.5 to 24.9 is the healthy range, and below 18.5 is underweight.

Is BMI an accurate measure of health?
BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. It does not distinguish muscle from fat, so athletes and very muscular people can score high while being healthy. Use it as a starting point, not a verdict.
