Ideal Weight Calculator

Estimate a healthy body weight range for your height, in both kilograms and pounds.

How to use this ideal weight calculator

  1. Select your gender.
  2. Enter your height in centimetres (we also accept feet/inches typed as, e.g. 175 cm).
  3. Click Calculate ideal weight to see your Devine ideal weight and a healthy ±10% range.

How ideal weight is calculated

Men: 50 + 2.3 × (height in inches − 60) kg
Women: 45.5 + 2.3 × (height in inches − 60) kg

First convert height from centimetres to inches (1 inch = 2.54 cm), then apply the Devine formula. Results are shown in kilograms and pounds; the healthy range is approximately ±10% of the Devine value.

FAQ

What does "ideal weight" mean?

It is a general estimate derived from formulas like Devine, Robinson and Miller, based on height and gender. It is a guide, not a medical target.

Why is there a range?

Healthy weight varies by body composition and frame size, so we show a ±10% range around the formula value rather than a single number.

Is it private?

Yes — it runs entirely in your browser.
