Healthy Weight Calculator
Find your healthy weight range based on BMI standards
About this Tool
The healthy weight calculator determines your ideal weight range based on your height and Body Mass Index (BMI) standards. Using the medically accepted healthy BMI range of 18.5 to 24.9, this calculator provides a weight range that's associated with optimal health outcomes. While BMI has limitations and doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition, it remains a widely used screening tool. Your ideal weight helps you set realistic health goals and understand whether your current weight falls within a healthy range for your height.

Pro Tips
- !
BMI Range Context
The healthy BMI range (18.5-24.9) is associated with lowest health risks. Below 18.5 is underweight, 25-29.9 is overweight, and 30+ is obese.
- !
Individual Variations
Athletes with high muscle mass may have higher BMI but be perfectly healthy. The calculator provides general guidance, not absolute rules.
- !
Realistic Goal Setting
Aim for the middle of your healthy weight range initially. Gradual weight changes (1-2 lbs per week) are healthier and more sustainable than rapid changes.
- !
Beyond Weight
Healthy weight is just one factor. Consider body composition, fitness level, nutrition quality, and overall wellness for complete health assessment.
