Frequently asked questions

What is a healthy BMI range?

According to the WHO, a BMI of 18.5–24.9 is normal weight. Below 18.5 is underweight, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30 or above is obese. These thresholds may vary slightly by ethnicity and age.

Is BMI accurate for athletes?

No. BMI does not distinguish fat mass from muscle mass. Athletes often have high BMIs despite low body fat. BMI is a population screening tool, not a precise individual health measure.

What is the BMI formula?

BMI = weight(kg) / height(m)². In imperial: BMI = (weight in lbs × 703) / height in inches². Both give identical results when units are correctly converted.

Does BMI apply to children?

Child BMI is interpreted differently — compared against age and sex-specific growth charts rather than fixed thresholds. This calculator is designed for adults 18 and older.
