About the Ideal Weight Calculator

Toolliyo's Ideal Weight Calculator is a free online tool that estimates the ideal weight for a person based on their height and gender, using various established formulas.

What is Ideal Weight?

Ideal weight is a theoretical weight that is considered optimal for a person's health, based on their height and gender. It's important to note that "ideal" can vary, and a range of weights can be healthy. This calculator provides estimates based on different formulas.

How Does the Ideal Weight Calculator Work?

This calculator uses several different formulas to estimate ideal weight. These formulas were developed by different researchers and are commonly used in clinical settings. The formulas take into account height and gender, as these are the primary factors that influence ideal weight. The formulas used are:

• Devine Formula:
  • Male: Ideal Weight (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * (Height in inches - 60)
  • Female: Ideal Weight (kg) = 45.5 + 2.3 * (Height in inches - 60)
• Robinson Formula:
  • Male: Ideal Weight (kg) = 52 + 1.9 * (Height in inches - 60)
  • Female: Ideal Weight (kg) = 49 + 1.7 * (Height in inches - 60)
• Miller Formula:
  • Male: Ideal Weight (kg) = 56.2 + 1.41 * (Height in inches - 60)
  • Female: Ideal Weight (kg) = 53.1 + 1.36 * (Height in inches - 60)
• Hamwi Formula:
  • Male: Ideal Weight (kg) = 48.0 + 2.7 * (Height in inches - 60)
  • Female: Ideal Weight (kg) = 45.5 + 2.2 * (Height in inches - 60)

Understanding Your Ideal Weight Result

The calculator will provide an ideal weight estimate based on the formula you selected. It's crucial to understand that this is just an estimate. A healthy weight range varies depending on several factors, including:

A number within the "normal" range of BMI may also be a healthy weight.
