Body Mass Index Calculator (BMI)

For healthy weight loss, please calculate your Body Mass Index which determines your extra body fat compared to others of your height and age. This easy calulator can give you a benchmark of how much weight you need to lose to stay healthy and fit.

BMI is a term that isn't completely familiar to everyone. It is short for Body Mass Index. It approaches a standard, and is the common choice for physicians and for research concerning obesity. With a mathematical formula, BMI uses a person's height and weight for the calculation.
Your Body Mass Index is equal to your weight in kilograms divided by your height in meters squared. It is expressed as BMI=kg/m2. In the table below, the risks for disease associated with being over weight or obese are listed based on BMI and waist size for women and men. For your convenience, use the calculator below for your personal BMI.
