How It Works
Our BMI (Body Mass Index) Calculator is a simple and widely used tool to assess whether your weight is healthy in proportion to your height. BMI is a screening tool that can indicate whether a person is underweight, has a healthy weight, is overweight, or is obese. It applies to most adults aged 18 to 65 years.
To use the calculator, you'll need to input your 'Weight' in kilograms and your 'Height' in centimeters. The tool then automatically converts your height to meters and applies the standard BMI formula: weight (kg) / [height (m)]². Once calculated, your BMI value will be displayed along with a corresponding category (e.g., Underweight, Normal weight, Overweight, Obese), giving you an immediate understanding of your weight status.
While BMI is a useful screening tool, it's important to remember that it does not measure body fat directly and may not be accurate for everyone (e.g., athletes with high muscle mass, pregnant women). However, for the general population, it provides a good indicator of potential health risks associated with weight. Our BMI Calculator is designed to be user-friendly and accessible, providing quick and reliable results. With its straightforward interface and clear categorization, Sanjeev Beniwal's BMI Calculator is an essential utility for anyone looking to monitor their weight and health.
