Which formula is best?

We provide an average of several formulas (Devine, Robinson, Miller, Hamwi). No formula is perfect for everyone, especially very muscular individuals, but they provide a solid baseline for the average person.

What if I am outside the 'Ideal' range but feel healthy?

Ideal weight formulas are statistical averages. Factors like muscle mass, bone density, and overall body composition are equally important. Use this as a guide, not a strict rule.

Ideal Weight Calculator – Healthy Target Service | CalcTools

Find your ideal body weight range based on height, gender, and frame size. Established medical formulas for target weight.

What is a 'healthy' weight? The answer is not a single number, but a range that varies based on your height and skeletal structure. Determining an 'ideal' weight helps set realistic long-term health goals and can reduce the risk of weight-related conditions like sleep apnea and joint pain. Our Ideal Weight Calculator uses several recognized medical formulas to provide a recommended range, helping you understand where your body naturally thrives.

Healthy Range (±10%)63.4 - 77.5 kg

How it Works

The tool uses height-based formulas that start with a 'base' weight for the first 5 feet (152cm) and add a specific number of kilograms for every additional inch of height.

Calculation Formula

Devine: 50kg + 2.3kg per inch > 5ft

Calculation Examples

1. **Standard**: A 5'10" (178cm) male has an ideal weight of **~73kg (161 lbs)**.

Why use this tool in your daily life?

This tool helps you set a healthy long-term destination. Instead of aiming for an arbitrary low number, you can focus on reaching a weight that is scientifically associated with the lowest risk of chronic disease and the highest quality of life.
