About the Ideal Weight Calculator

"What should I weigh?" has several legitimate answers. This calculator shows four classical clinical formulas — Devine, Robinson, Miller and Hamwi — side by side for your height and sex, alongside the full healthy-BMI weight range (18.5–24.9). Where the formulas cluster, that is a sensible target zone; where they disagree, the BMI range is the fairer guide. Treat all of it as orientation, not obligation — body composition matters more than any single number.

How to use the Ideal Weight Calculator

  1. Select your sex and enter your height.
  2. Read the four formula results.
  3. Compare with the healthy BMI range.
  4. Use the cluster of values as your target zone.

Key features

Which ideal weight formula is best?
None is universally right — they were built for drug dosing and insurance tables. The healthy BMI range (18.5–24.9) is the more defensible modern guide.
Do the formulas account for muscle?
No — they use height and sex only. Muscular people can be healthy well above these numbers, and the formulas overstate "ideal" for tall individuals.
