What is your Body Mass Index?

Your body-mass index ("BMI") measures your height/weight ratio. It is your weight in kilograms divided by the square of your height in meters.

For instance, if your height is 1.82 meters, the divisor of the calculation will be (1.82 * 1.82) = 3.3124. If you weigh 70.5 kilograms, then your BMI is 21.3 (70.5 / 3.3124).

People with BMIs between 19 and 22 live longest. Death rates are noticeably higher for people with indexes 25 and above.

This is the American version of the calculation. Enter your height (in feet and inches) and weight (in pounds) in the boxes below, and then click "calculate". These are converted to metric values to figure your BMI.

• Your browser must support Javascript, or this will not work.
• If you are exactly 5 feet or 6 feet tall, put a 0 in the inches box. If you leave the inches box empty, the result will be "infinity."
• This calculator is meant to work only for women.
