How Does the BMI Calculator Work?
The BMI Calculator uses a straightforward formula to determine your Body Mass Index (BMI). Here’s how it works:
BMI = Weight (kg) / (Height (m) × Height (m))
Simply put, your weight in kilograms is divided by the square of your height in meters. The result is your BMI, which falls into one of four categories:
- Underweight: BMI < 18.5
- Normal weight: BMI 18.5–24.9
- Overweight: BMI 25–29.9
- Obese: BMI ≥ 30
To make it even easier, here’s a quick reference table showing BMI values for different heights and weights:
| Height (cm) | Weight (kg) | BMI |
|---|---|---|
| 150 | 45 | 20.0 |
| 160 | 55 | 21.5 |
| 170 | 65 | 22.5 |
| 180 | 75 | 23.1 |
| 190 | 85 | 23.5 |
