Ideal Weight Calculator

Calculate ideal body weight based on height.

How to Do It Manually

Ideal weight is estimated using formulas based on height. Different formulas (Devine, Robinson, Miller) give slightly different results.

Devine: Men = 50 kg + 2.3 kg per inch over 5'0"; Women = 45.5 kg + 2.3 kg per inch over 5'0"
  1. Measure your height in feet and inches (or convert from cm).
  2. Apply the Devine formula for your sex.
  3. Use BMI ranges (18.5–24.9) as another reference.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'ideal weight'?

There's no single ideal — a healthy weight range depends on body composition, muscle mass, and individual factors.

Should I aim for ideal weight?

Focus on health markers (fitness, strength, cholesterol) rather than a specific number on the scale.
