Quick answer

How to use the free BMI Calculator

To calculate BMI for free, choose metric or imperial, enter your height and weight, and get your BMI score, body fat estimate, BMR, and healthy weight range. All calculated locally.

Free BMI calculator — plus BMR, body fat & ideal weight

Calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI) in seconds — plus body-fat estimate, basal metabolic rate (BMR), and your healthy weight range. Works in metric (kg/cm) or imperial (lbs/ft-in). Everything is calculated privately in your browser: your data is never uploaded.

How to calculate your BMI

  • Choose metric or imperial units.
  • Enter your height and weight.
  • Optionally enter your age and sex for extra metrics.
  • Read your BMI score and category on the colour-coded scale.
  • Review the body-fat, BMR and ideal-weight estimates.

Understanding your BMI result

BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height² (m). Categories:

  • Under 18.5 — underweight.
  • 18.5–24.9 — normal, healthy weight.
  • 25–29.9 — overweight.
  • 30+ — obese.

BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnosis

BMI doesn't distinguish muscle from fat, so very muscular people may score ‘overweight’ while being lean. Use it as one data point alongside body-fat percentage and waist measurement. Always consult a healthcare professional for medical decisions.

Medical disclaimer: The ToolCrix BMI calculator is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. The BMI categories shown follow the standard ranges published by the World Health Organization (WHO) and used by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), but BMI, body-fat and BMR figures are estimates — they are not medical advice, and they cannot diagnose any health condition. Results may be misleading for athletes, older adults, pregnant women and children. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making decisions about your weight, diet or health.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What BMI is considered healthy?

18.5 to 24.9 is the "Normal" range per the WHO. This is a population guideline — your doctor may also weigh waist circumference, body fat percentage, blood pressure and cholesterol for a complete picture of your health.

Can I use BMI to set a weight loss goal?

Yes, as a rough guide. The ideal weight range shown tells you the weight that falls in the Normal BMI band for your height, and the calculator estimates how many kilograms or pounds separate you from it. Discuss specific goals with a healthcare provider.

Is BMI the same for children?

No. For children and teens aged 2–19, BMI is plotted on age- and sex-specific growth charts as a percentile rather than fixed cut-offs. This calculator is designed for adults only.

How accurate is the body-fat estimate?

The body-fat figure uses the US Navy circumference method, which needs your waist and neck (and an approximated hip for women). It is a reasonable screening estimate but less precise than a DEXA scan or hydrostatic weighing — treat it as a ballpark, not a clinical measurement.

Should I see a doctor if my BMI is outside normal?

BMI is a screening signal, not a diagnosis. It is worth discussing with a healthcare provider, especially when combined with other risk factors such as family history, high blood pressure or diabetes.
