BMI calculation notes and limitations

  • BMI is a screening estimate and does not directly measure body fat.
  • Very muscular people may have a high BMI without the same health meaning.
  • BMI categories for children and teens use age- and sex-specific percentiles.
  • Pregnancy, medical conditions, and body composition can affect how BMI should be interpreted.
  • Height and weight unit mistakes can create a very different BMI result.

Frequently asked questions

What is BMI?

BMI, or body mass index, is a simple ratio of weight to height that is commonly used as a general adult weight screening number.

What formula does this BMI calculator use?

The metric BMI formula is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Imperial inputs are converted to metric before calculating the result.

Is BMI a medical diagnosis?

No. BMI is a general screening tool and not a diagnosis. It does not directly measure body fat, muscle mass, or individual health risk.

Does this calculator store my height or weight?

No. The BMI calculation runs locally in your browser, so the values you enter stay on your device.
