Ideal Weight Calculator

Ideal weight range from your height - Devine, Robinson, Miller and BMI.

How to use

  1. Select your sex and enter your height.
  2. Compare the healthy BMI range with the classic formulas.
  3. Treat the range - not a single number - as the target.

Frequently asked questions

Why do the formulas disagree?

Each was fitted to different populations decades ago, mostly for drug dosing. The BMI range (18.5-24.9) is the better general health guide.

Does muscle change the picture?

Yes - muscular people can be 'overweight' by BMI while lean. Waist circumference and body fat % add important context.

Is this medical advice?

No - general estimates only. Consult a healthcare professional for personal guidance.
