Ideal Body Weight Calculator
Calculate your ideal weight range using four established medical formulas.
What Is Ideal Body Weight?
Ideal body weight is an estimated weight range considered healthy for your height and gender. This calculator uses four well-established medical formulas to give you a range rather than a single number.
The Four Formulas
Each formula was developed by different researchers and uses slightly different approaches. Devine (1974) is the most widely used in clinical settings. Robinson (1983), Miller (1983), and Hamwi (1964) provide additional reference points. The average of all four gives a good target range.
Important Considerations
Ideal body weight formulas do not account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition. A muscular athlete may weigh more than the calculated ideal without being overweight. Use these numbers as a starting point for goal setting, not as absolute targets.
