BMI Calculator
Calculate adult BMI from height and weight. BMI is a screening measure and does not directly measure body fat or overall health.
How it works
- BMI = weight in kilograms ÷ height in metres squared.
- Standard adult BMI bands are used for the category display.
- The tool is educational and is not a medical diagnosis.
Example
For a person weighing 70 kg at 1.75 m, BMI is approximately 22.9.
