How it works
BMI — Body Mass Index — is a simple number calculated from height and weight. It is used as a general indicator of whether a person's weight is proportionate to their height. The formula is: weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared. For example, a person who weighs 75kg and is 1.75m tall has a BMI of 24.5.
BMI categories (WHO standard):
- Below 18.5 — Underweight
- 18.5 to 24.9 — Normal weight
- 25 to 29.9 — Overweight
- 30 and above — Obese
Note: BMI is a general indicator and does not distinguish between muscle and fat mass. Athletes, elderly people, and pregnant women may get misleading results.
Common uses for this widget:
- Health and wellness sites: provide visitors with a quick BMI check alongside health information
- Fitness programmes: help users establish a baseline before starting a diet or exercise plan
- Medical information pages: BMI is one of the most searched health metrics — having a calculator on your page keeps visitors engaged
Metric vs imperial: this widget supports both. Switch between metric (cm/kg) and imperial (ft/in/lb) using the dropdown — the result is the same regardless of which system is used.
BMI limits: BMI does not account for age, gender, ethnicity, or muscle mass. For children and teenagers, age and gender-specific growth charts are used instead of the adult BMI scale.
