Ideal body weight calculator
Estimate ideal body weight from height and sex with the Devine formula, for adults of five feet and over.
Your result appears here as you type.
The Devine formula
- Men: 50 kg + 2.3 kg for each inch over five feet.
- Women: 45.5 kg + 2.3 kg for each inch over five feet.
What it is for
The formula was created for clinical calculations, not as a personal weight goal. Healthy weight is a range, so the BMI calculator is a better guide for most people.
