Body Mass Index Calculator (BMI)
Your body mass index is a good indicator of healthy or unhealthy weight. A low BMI means you are underweight, while a high BMI means you are overweight or obese and that means higher risks of poor health. Use the calculator above to help you calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI).
What Does the BMI Number Mean?
Your BMI will place you in one of the following categories:
- Those with a BMI below 18.5 are considered underweight.
- Those with a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 are considered normal weight.
- Those with a BMI between 25.0 and 29.9 are considered overweight.
- Those with a BMI of 30.0 and above are considered obese.
In addition to BMI, those who have a waist size of more than 40 inches for men, or 35 inches for women, have a higher risk for obesity-related health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
