Ideal Weight Calculator
This ideal weight calculator gives you a single formula-based estimate and a broader healthy-weight range so the result is easier to use well.
This page is built to be more useful than a single formula output by pairing an ideal-weight estimate with a broader healthy range. That gives users a better starting point for planning without implying that one exact number is universally correct.
Enter height in imperial or metric units to view an ideal-weight estimate using the Devine formula, plus a healthy BMI-based range shown in both metric and imperial units.

Common questions
What formula is used here?
This calculator uses the Devine formula for a classic ideal-weight estimate and also shows a healthy BMI-based range for context.
Why show a range instead of one number?
A range is more realistic and more useful than a single target, especially for different body shapes and activity levels.
Is ideal weight the same as best weight?
Not always. Performance, health markers, body composition, and how you feel matter more than hitting an exact formula number.
