Based on standard reference bands, a BMI of 24.2 falls in the Healthy weight range. BMI is a screening estimate, not a diagnosis or a measure of health.

How to use this calculator
Choose metric (kilograms and centimetres) or imperial (pounds and inches), then enter your weight and height. The calculator shows your BMI value and the standard reference band it falls in, described neutrally as context.
Understanding your BMI
BMI is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by the square of height in metres. It is a useful population-level screening tool, but it has well-documented limitations at the individual level: it does not distinguish muscle from fat, it does not account for fat distribution, and its thresholds were developed on limited population samples. Use your result as one data point, not a measure of your worth or overall health.
