Body Mass Index


BMI Calculator: Calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI) easily. Estimate your healthy body weight for a healthier lifestyle.

The body mass index (BMI) is calculated with the following formula: BMI = weight(kg) / height(m)2. If pounds and inches are used, a conversion factor of 703 (kg/m2)/(lb/in<2) must be applied.

The new BMI. In 2013 Lloyd N. Trefethen, professor of University of Oxford, proposed a new formula to calculate the BMI of a person: BMI = 1.3 x weight / height2.5. The same conversion factor applies for pounds and inches.
