Find out how your weight compares with the healthy range for your height.

How to use the Overweight Calculator

  1. Enter your Current Weight (kg) and Height (cm).

Formula and method

BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)². Healthy: 18.5 to 24.9. Overweight: 25 to 29.9. Obese: 30 and above.

Tips

  • Waist size is also a helpful indicator of health risk.
  • Set small, gradual goals, such as 0.5 kg per week.

Frequently asked questions

Is BMI always right?
No. It cannot tell muscle from fat, so muscular people may be classed as overweight.
