How to read the chart

Find your height in the first column. Move right along the row. Find the weight that is closest to yours.

Read the BMI in the top row of that column. The color of the column shows the category.

The chart is for adults, age 20 and older. It shows weights for BMI 19 to 40. BMI below 18.5 is underweight.

For an exact BMI, or for a child or teen, use the calculator.

How BMI is calculated

BMI equals the weight in kg divided by the height in meters, squared.

In US units, BMI equals 703 times the weight in lb, divided by the height in inches, squared.

Example: a person weighs 70 kg and is 175 cm tall. The height is 1.75 m. BMI equals 70 divided by 1.75 squared. That is 22.9.

How to use it

Find your height in the first column.
Move right along the row until you find your weight.
Read the BMI at the top of that column. The color shows the category.
