About BMI Calculator
What this page solves
Most online BMI calculators load ads, tracking pixels, and sometimes ask for email. This one runs the formula in JavaScript with no network calls and shows the WHO category instantly.
BMI Calculator computes Body Mass Index using the standard WHO formula (`weight_kg / (height_m)²`, or the imperial variant `703 × lbs / inches²`) directly in your browser, then maps the number to the WHO category — underweight, normal, overweight, obese class I/II/III — with a color-coded scale. Because the math is trivial, the value here is honest privacy plus useful context: no third-party requests, no cookie banner, no email wall, and clear notes on where BMI breaks down (very muscular builds, pregnancy, children, elderly) so you do not misread the result. It fits the moments people actually reach for a BMI tool: filling in a health-insurance quote, prepping for a physical, checking progress after a diet, or verifying a number a smart scale reported. For a fuller picture, pair it with the Ideal Weight Calculator (Devine/Robinson formulas) and the Calorie Calculator to see BMR and TDEE alongside BMI. Runs entirely in your browser — no upload, no signup, no logs.

What are the WHO BMI categories?
Underweight <18.5, Normal 18.5–24.9, Overweight 25–29.9, Obese class I 30–34.9, class II 35–39.9, class III ≥40.
Is BMI accurate for muscular people?
No — BMI treats muscle and fat identically. A lean 90 kg athlete at 180 cm reads "overweight" (BMI 27.8) despite low body fat. Use body-fat percentage or waist-to-hip ratio alongside BMI for a fuller picture.
Does it work for children?
The adult categories do not apply to under-18s — pediatric BMI uses age- and sex-specific percentile charts. The raw number is still computed correctly; interpret it against a pediatric chart, not the adult scale.
Metric vs imperial — which is more accurate?
Identical — the imperial formula is a direct unit conversion of the metric one. Use whichever units you have handy.
