Use this calculator to find a healthy weight range for your height. It gives you a safe weight range using Body Mass Index (BMI) values accepted by health experts.

Why You Need a Healthy Weight Range

Healthy weight helps reduce the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, and joint stress. This tool uses BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 to find your ideal weight range. BMI is a standard metric that links height and weight to health outcomes.

How the Healthy Weight Calculator Works

Enter your height in feet and inches or in centimeters. The calculator uses BMI values to give a minimum and maximum healthy weight.

• Minimum weight uses BMI of 18.5
• Maximum weight uses BMI of 24.9

The result shows the healthy weight range you should aim for.

Understanding the Results

• Below range – BMI lower than 18.5. Low weight may lead to weak immunity and low energy.
• Within range – BMI between 18.5 and 24.9. This is considered a normal and healthy body weight.
• Above range – BMI higher than 24.9. Higher BMI links to health problems like heart disease, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes.

Healthy Weight vs Ideal Weight

Healthy weight is a practical range instead of a single number. Ideal weight formulas like Devine and Hamwi give only one number. A range is better for goal planning and long-term weight management.
