Formula comparison

Enter values to calculate

These historical equations are shown for comparison only. They do not define a medically ideal weight or a personalized target.

Why several formulas are shown

Devine, Robinson, Miller, and Hamwi use different constants, so they can return noticeably different values for the same height.

Not a health target

These equations are historical reference formulas, not a diagnosis or personalized recommendation. They ignore body composition, health conditions, age-related changes, ethnicity, pregnancy, and individual goals.

How to interpret the output

Treat the range as a comparison of formulas only. A qualified healthcare professional can evaluate weight and health using much broader information.
