Body & Weight Calculators

📘 How to Interpret Your Results

  • Body Mass Index (BMI): Estimates body fat based on weight and height.
    Under 18.5: Underweight | 18.5–24.9: Normal | 25–29.9: Overweight | 30+: Obese
  • Body Surface Area (BSA): Total skin area of your body; used in medical dosing.
    Normal adult range: 1.6–2.0 m²
  • Ponderal Index (PI): Similar to BMI but more accurate for tall or short individuals.
    Healthy: 12–15 (varies by build)
  • Lean Body Mass (LBM): Your body weight minus fat (muscle, organs, bones, water).
    Higher is better for athletes and strength goals.
  • Fat-Free Mass Index (FFMI): LBM adjusted for height; used by fitness experts.
    Above 19: Fit | Above 22: Very muscular
  • Fat Mass (FM): The total weight of fat in your body.
    Helps estimate ideal fat-loss targets.
  • Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): Calories your body burns at rest.
    Use to estimate daily calorie needs (multiply by 1.2–1.9 based on activity).
  • Ideal Body Weight (IBW): Theoretical optimal weight based on height and gender.
    Not strict, but helpful for target setting.
  • Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR): Fat distribution; related to heart disease risk.
    Men: < 0.90 | Women: < 0.85 is considered low risk.
  • Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR): Fat distribution and cardiovascular risk.
    Healthy: Keep waist less than half your height (WHtR < 0.5).
  • Body Adiposity Index (BAI): Fat % based on hip size and height.
    Rough estimate when fat % is not known. Useful without weight info.
  • Relative Fat Mass (RFM): Newer method to estimate body fat using waist and height.
    More accurate than BMI in many cases. Ideal: Men: 6–24%, Women: 14–31%
