Calculate your ideal body weight based on your height and gender. Discover your target weight range and understand what's healthy for your frame.
This calculator uses the Devine formula, developed in 1974. For men: 50 kg + 2.3 kg per inch over 60 inches. For women: 45.5 kg + 2.3 kg per inch over 60 inches. This formula is widely used and provides a reasonable baseline, though genetics and body composition matter.
The ±10% range accounts for natural variation in body composition, muscle mass, and bone structure. Your ideal weight isn't a single number—it's a healthy range. Some people naturally fall at the lower or higher end while remaining fit and healthy.
Not exactly. Ideal weight is a formula-based estimate. Healthy weight depends on many factors: age, muscle mass, activity level, genetics, and overall fitness. Two people at the same "ideal weight" may have different body compositions. Consult a doctor for personalized guidance.
Both tools have value. BMI is easier to calculate and widely used medically. Ideal weight considers height differently. For the most accurate assessment, combine both metrics with body composition analysis (muscle vs. fat) and consult a healthcare provider.
