Enter values above and click Calculate — results will appear here with the formula explained.
Four formulas dominate the ideal-weight conversation. Devine (1974) was built for drug dosing and became clinical convention; Robinson and Miller revised it downward; Hamwi came from clinical folklore. They disagree by several kilograms because they answer slightly different questions.
More defensible than any single formula is the weight band corresponding to healthy BMI for your height — it acknowledges that people of identical height legitimately differ. None of these numbers account for muscle mass, bone structure or individual health status, so treat outputs as orientation, never prescription.
