BMI Calculator FAQ

What is BMI?

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. It is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared.

How do I convert feet and inches to total inches?

Multiply feet by 12 and add the inches. For example: 5 feet 7 inches = (5 × 12) + 7 = 67 inches total.

Can I use both metric and imperial units?

Yes! Select Metric to enter weight in kg and height in cm, or select Imperial to enter weight in lbs and height in total inches.

Is BMI accurate for everyone?

BMI is a useful screening tool for most adults, but it may not be accurate for athletes with high muscle mass, elderly people, or children. It does not directly measure body fat percentage.

What is a healthy BMI range?

A healthy BMI range for adults is typically between 18.5 and 24.9. Below 18.5 is considered underweight, 25-29.9 is overweight, and 30 or above is obese.
