Is the BMI calculator free to use?

Yes. It’s free and runs in your browser - no signup, no install.

Does it support both metric and imperial?

Yes. Enter height and weight in kg / cm or lb / ft-in - the BMI is calculated either way.

What BMI range is healthy?

For most adults, a BMI of 18.5 – 24.9 is considered in the healthy range. Values below are underweight; 25 – 29.9 is overweight; 30+ is obesity (three classes). Children and teens use different, age-specific percentiles.

BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. It doesn’t distinguish muscle from fat, so athletes and very lean or very muscular people can score outside normal. Use alongside waist, activity, and clinician input.

What about children and teens?

Paediatric BMI uses age-and-sex-specific percentiles, not the adult categories. Check a growth chart or a paediatrician for interpretation.

Does the tool save my height or weight?

No. Inputs stay in your browser and are not stored on our servers.
