Calculation
Healthy range uses BMI 18.5–24.9. Ideal weight uses the Devine formula.
Estimate an ideal or reference weight based on commonly used height-based formulas. Enter your basic information to get a quick weight estimate for general reference.
Useful for general education, fitness planning, personal tracking, and understanding commonly used ideal-weight calculation methods.
The All Free Tool's Ideal Weight Calculator provides a general estimate using commonly used height-based ideal-weight formulas.
Enter your height and other required information, select the appropriate options, and calculate an estimated reference weight.
Ideal-weight formulas are only general estimates. They do not account for every factor that influences an individual's healthy body weight, such as body composition, muscle mass, age, health status, or individual circumstances.
"Ideal weight" is a general term used by several mathematical formulas to estimate a reference body weight, usually based on height and sometimes other characteristics. Different formulas can produce different results.
Many traditional ideal-weight formulas use height as a primary input. Some methods also account for sex or other variables. The resulting number should be viewed as an estimate rather than a precise measure of health.
Height is commonly used in weight-estimation formulas because body size tends to influence an appropriate range of body weight. However, height alone cannot describe an individual's complete body composition.
Enter the requested information into the calculator. The tool applies the selected ideal-weight formula and displays the resulting estimated reference weight.
There is no single universally accepted ideal-weight formula. Methods developed by different researchers can produce different estimates for the same person. Comparing results can therefore be more informative than treating one number as an exact target.
An estimated ideal weight should not automatically be interpreted as a medically defined healthy weight. Health depends on many factors beyond a single number, including body composition, fitness, medical history, lifestyle, and individual circumstances.
Ideal-weight formulas and BMI are different approaches. BMI uses height and weight to calculate a population-level screening measure, while ideal-weight formulas generally estimate a reference weight from height and other inputs.
Two people with the same height and weight can have different amounts of muscle, fat, bone, and other body tissues. A height-based ideal-weight estimate cannot fully account for these differences.
Use the calculator result as general informational guidance rather than a strict personal target. For individualized health or nutrition advice, consult a qualified healthcare professional.

Pro Tip: Use the same settings consistently when comparing results over time.
Enter your height using the supported unit and measurement fields.
Pro Tip: Measure height accurately because even small input differences can change a formula-based estimate.
Provide any additional information required by the selected ideal-weight formula.
Pro Tip: Check every field before calculating to avoid using the wrong input values.
Run the calculator to apply the selected ideal-weight calculation method.
Pro Tip: Use the same formula when comparing estimates from different dates.
Review the calculated ideal or reference weight displayed by the tool.
Pro Tip: Remember that the result is an estimate and not a precise medical target.
If useful for your personal tracking, compare the estimate with your current weight.
Pro Tip: Focus on longer-term health and fitness trends rather than one isolated number.
Consider body composition, fitness, lifestyle, age, and individual circumstances when interpreting the estimate.
Pro Tip: A formula-based number should not be treated as the only measure of health.
Use the estimate for general information and personal reference rather than as a substitute for individualized medical advice.
Pro Tip: Speak with a qualified healthcare professional for personalized weight or nutrition guidance.
