About the BMI Calculator
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple screening tool to assess whether your weight is healthy for your height. It provides a general indicator of body fatness and is widely used for population studies.
How is BMI Calculated?
The formula is your weight in kilograms divided by the square of your height in meters (kg/m²). This calculator handles both metric and imperial units for your convenience.
