About this tool
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple numerical estimate of body fat based on a person's height and weight. Calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by height in meters squared, it serves as a universal screening metric across global healthcare platforms. However, because it does not distinguish between muscle mass, bone density, overall body composition, or age-specific biological variables, it should never be treated as a comprehensive health assessment or a replacement for a doctor's consultation. This BMI Calculator lets you compute your body ratio using Metric, US, or UK units instantly. Because all formula calculations run directly inside your local web browser using client-side Javascript, your height, weight, and private wellness variables are never uploaded or stored on our servers, ensuring absolute personal privacy compliance.
Common scenarios

FAQ
Is BMI medical advice?
No. BMI is a simple screening estimate and does not replace professional medical advice.
Which units are supported?
Metric, US, and UK unit inputs are supported.
Does BMI measure muscle vs fat?
No. BMI does not measure body fat percentage or muscle mass directly. Athletes with high muscle mass may receive an 'overweight' or 'obese' rating despite having very low body fat.
How are weight categories determined?
They are based on standard World Health Organization (WHO) benchmarks: Underweight (under 18.5), Normal weight (18.5-24.9), Overweight (25-29.9), and Obese (30 or higher).
Does this tool work completely offline?
Yes. Once loaded in your browser window, the calculation is fully computed locally on your device without needing any internet connection.
Are my height and weight values logged?
Absolutely not. All input fields are processed client-side. Your private physical characteristics are never uploaded, shared, or recorded.
