Calculate your Body Mass Index by simply entering in your height in centimetres and weight in kilograms. The Body Mass Index is an indirect measure of body composition, and therefore people who should not use the Body Mass Index are anyone under 18, pregnant or nursing women, frail and sedentary elderly people, competitive athletes, body builders or people who are chronically ill. If you belong to one of these categories, you should consult your doctor about any concerns over your weight.
Please remember, this tool should only be used as a guide.
Enter your height and weight below and click “Calculate” to get your BMI.
