Ideal weight calculator

See a target weight for your height from four well-known formulas.

About this calculator

The Devine, Robinson, Miller and Hamwi formulas each estimate an ideal weight from height and sex. The calculator shows all four with their average, next to the healthy BMI range for your height.

These formulas are guides from the last century. Muscle, bone structure and age mean a healthy weight can be higher or lower.

Common questions

Which formula is best?

None is perfect. The healthy BMI range is usually the more useful target.

Can I use stone?

Yes. Switch to imperial units. The result is shown in kilograms and stone.
