Ideal Weight Calculator
There's no single "perfect" weight, but there is a healthy range for your height. Here's yours, based on the healthy BMI range.
Your details
Healthy weight range
A weight in this range puts you in the healthy BMI band (18.5–24.9) for your height.
This is a guide based on height alone. Your best weight also depends on muscle, build and overall health.
Why a range, not a number?
You'll often see calculators promise a single "ideal weight". We don't, because no single number is right for everyone of the same height, build, muscle mass and frame all matter. Showing a healthy range is more honest and more useful: anywhere inside it is generally considered a healthy weight for your height.
How it's calculated
We take the healthy BMI range of 18.5 to 24.9 and work backwards for your height to find the weights that fall inside it. That's the range you see above. You can read more on our methodology page.
Frequently asked questions
Why show a weight range instead of one number?
No single weight is right for everyone of the same height, because build and muscle mass differ. A healthy range is more honest and useful: anywhere inside it is generally a healthy weight for your height.

Is my best weight always in this range?
It is a guide based on height alone. Your best weight also depends on muscle, build and overall health, so use it alongside other measures and professional guidance.
