BMI in the units most people actually use
Body Mass Index relates weight to height, but the standard formula wants metric units while many people know their height in feet and inches and their weight in kilograms. This calculator takes exactly that mix, kilograms plus feet and inches, and computes BMI and its category, so you do not have to convert your height first.
What BMI does and does not tell you
BMI is a quick screening ratio, not a measure of health. It classifies weight relative to height into categories, which is useful at population scale and as a rough personal indicator. But it cannot distinguish muscle from fat, so a muscular person can register as overweight while carrying little fat, and it says nothing about where fat is distributed, which matters more for risk. It is a starting point, not a diagnosis.
A screening number, honestly framed
These are estimates from a standard formula for general information, not medical advice. Individual health depends on far more than any single number, so treat the result as a rough guide and consult a professional for anything that matters. The calculation runs entirely in your browser, so your figures are not uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why a version for Indian units?
Because many people know their height in feet and inches and their weight in kilograms, and this calculator accepts that mix directly rather than requiring metric height.
What does BMI actually measure?
The ratio of weight to height, used to classify weight into categories. It is a screening indicator, not a direct measure of health or body fat.
Why can BMI be misleading?
Because it cannot tell muscle from fat, so a muscular person may register as overweight, and it ignores where fat is distributed, which matters more for health risk.
Is BMI a diagnosis?
No. It is a rough screening ratio. A meaningful health assessment considers far more, so treat BMI as a starting point and consult a professional.
Is my data uploaded?
No. The calculation runs entirely in your browser.
