  • Normal weight: BMI 18.5-24.9
  • Overweight: BMI 25-29.9
  • Obese: BMI 30 or higher

BMI calculator FAQ

Is BMI accurate for everyone?

BMI doesn't distinguish muscle from fat, so athletes or very muscular people may have high BMI but be healthy.

What's a healthy BMI range?

For most adults, a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy, though individual needs may vary.

Should I use BMI alone to assess health?

No. BMI is one metric. Consider body composition, activity level, and overall health markers with your doctor.
