About BMI Calculator
The BMI Calculator finds your Body Mass Index from your height and weight and shows whether you are underweight, normal, overweight or obese according to WHO categories. For army, police and other physical-test jobs, you can also enter the minimum and maximum BMI from the advertisement to check whether you meet it.
The tool shows the healthy weight range for your height and how much weight you would need to gain or lose to reach a target range. Nothing is saved or sent anywhere.
Key features
- Metric (cm, kg) and imperial (feet, inches, lb) units
- BMI value with category and colour gauge
- Healthy weight range for your height
- Optional job requirement check with minimum and maximum BMI
- Weight to gain or lose to reach the required range

Tips
Measure height without shoes and weight in light clothes, ideally in the morning.
Armed forces, police and other physical-test jobs often have their own height, weight, chest and BMI limits. Always follow the advertisement.
BMI is a screening number; medical boards also check chest, fitness and health.
Plan weight changes gradually and sensibly; do not use crash diets before a medical test.

BMI = weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. For example, 70 kg at 1.75 m gives 70 / (1.75 × 1.75) = 22.9.
