Estimate an ideal body weight

Ideal body weight is a rough target based mainly on your height and gender. Enter those two details, in metric or imperial, to get an estimate in both kilograms and pounds using the well-known Devine formula. It is a guideline rather than a strict goal, since muscle, frame and build all shift what is healthy for an individual. This estimate is not medical advice.

How to read it

Use the figure as a ballpark. A range around it is more realistic than a single exact number for any one person.

Frequently asked questions

Is ideal weight the same as a healthy weight?

Not exactly. It is a height-based guideline. A healthy range is wider and depends on muscle, frame size and overall health.

What formula is used?

It uses the Devine formula, a standard clinical estimate based on height and gender.
