Disclaimer

These formulas provide estimates based on height and gender alone and do not account for muscle mass, bone density, body composition, or individual health conditions. Results should not be used as medical advice. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for personalized guidance.

How it works

Enter your height and gender. The ideal weight calculator uses four established formulas (Robinson, Miller, Hamwi, and Devine) to give you a healthy body weight range. Results are shown in both kilograms and pounds.

Why use this tool?

Doctors use ideal weight ranges as a reference point alongside BMI for health assessments. Fitness beginners and athletes use it to set realistic weight goals based on their height and frame.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which ideal weight formula is most accurate?
No single formula is definitively most accurate — all are approximations. The Robinson formula is considered the most clinically balanced. BMI combined with waist circumference is a more complete health assessment.
Is BMI the same as ideal weight?
No. BMI measures whether your current weight is proportional to your height. Ideal weight formulas calculate a specific target weight range. Both are screening tools, not diagnoses.
Can I be healthy above my ideal weight range?
Yes. Athletes with high muscle mass often exceed ideal weight ranges while being very healthy. Body composition (fat vs. muscle percentage) matters more than weight alone.
Is this free?
Yes, completely free with results in both kilograms and pounds.
