BMI Formula and Weight Categories

Our program will instantly calculate your BMI and your ideal weight.

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated by dividing your weight (in pounds), multiplying it with a fixed number (703), and then dividing it by your height (in inches) squared. BMI = [weight (lbs) x 703]) / [height (in) x height (in)].

For example, a person who is 115 lbs and measures 5 ft. in height has a BMI of: (115 x 703) / (60 x 60) = 22.46 BMI, which corresponds to a healthy weight.

Depending on your BMI, the program will categorize your current weight accordingly:
