Healthy Weight Calculator
Find your BMI-based healthy weight range (BMI 18.5–24.9) for your height. Optionally enter your current weight to see your BMI category.
About Healthy Weight Ranges
A "healthy weight" is defined by the World Health Organization as a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9. This calculator uses that threshold to derive the minimum and maximum healthy weights for any given height. Use our BMI Calculator to calculate your current BMI directly, or visit our Ideal Weight Calculator for a clinical formula-based estimate.
BMI-based ranges are a screening tool, not a diagnostic one. They don't distinguish between fat mass and lean muscle mass, and they can be misleading for very muscular individuals, older adults with reduced bone density, or people of certain ethnic backgrounds where health risks may occur at different BMI thresholds. A body fat percentage calculation is often a better indicator of metabolic health than BMI alone.
