BMI calculator metric
BMI Calculator
Calculate the standard metric BMI number from height and weight.
How it works
BMI = weight in kilograms ÷ height in metres squared. It is a broad screening measure and does not capture body composition or individual health.
Three practical tips
- Use a recent, consistent weight measurement.
- Interpret the result in context, not as a diagnosis.
- Speak with a qualified clinician for personal health advice.
Is BMI a medical diagnosis?
No. BMI is a general screening calculation. Health assessment depends on much more than this single number.
