BMI Calculator – Free Online Body Mass Index Calculator
A BMI (Body Mass Index) Calculator is a free online tool that helps you instantly find out whether your weight falls into a healthy range for your height. Instead of doing manual math, simply enter your height and weight to get accurate results in seconds.
Our BMI calculator at ClickNCalculate is designed for anyone tracking their health — whether you're monitoring fitness goals, preparing for a medical check-up, or just curious about your numbers. It works with both metric and imperial units.
What is a BMI Calculator?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical value calculated from your weight and height. It's one of the most widely used screening tools by doctors and health organizations to assess whether a person is underweight, at a normal weight, overweight, or obese.
While BMI doesn't measure body fat directly, it correlates closely enough with more direct methods to serve as a fast, reliable first check — no equipment needed beyond a scale and a height measurement.
How to Use the BMI Calculator
Using our BMI calculator is simple and takes less than 30 seconds:
- Choose your unit system — Metric (kg/cm) or Imperial (lb/ft).
- Enter your height — In centimeters, or feet and inches.
- Enter your weight — In kilograms or pounds.
- View your result instantly — Your BMI value and category appear automatically as you type.
- Compare against the scale — Check where you fall across Underweight, Normal, Overweight, and Obese.
📐 BMI Formula
BMI is calculated using the following formula:
Metric: BMI = Weight (kg) ÷ Height² (m²)
Imperial: BMI = (Weight (lb) ÷ Height² (in²)) × 703
📊 Example Calculation
Let's say:
- • Weight = 70 kg
- • Height = 1.75 m
Step 1: 1.75 × 1.75 = 3.06
Step 2: 70 ÷ 3.06 = 22.9
BMI = 22.9 (Normal weight)
📋 BMI Categories
- Underweight: Less than 18.5
- Normal weight: 18.5 – 24.9
- Overweight: 25 – 29.9
- Obese: 30 or above

BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared (BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)²).
