Ideal Weight Calculator
What is an ideal weight calculator?
An ideal weight calculator gives a general estimate of a healthy body weight range based on height and gender.
How is ideal weight estimated?
This calculator uses a common formula that estimates ideal body weight from a person’s height.
Important note
Ideal weight formulas are general guidelines only. They do not account for body composition, muscle mass, or medical conditions.
Is ideal weight the same as BMI?
No. BMI compares weight to height, while ideal weight formulas estimate a general target weight range.
Is this calculator medically exact?
No. It is only a general estimate and not a diagnosis.
Can two people of the same height have different healthy weights?
Yes. Muscle mass, body composition, and health factors can affect what is healthy for each person.
