BMI Calculator for Women

Calculate BMI tailored for women with healthy weight ranges. Free female BMI calculator.

A BMI calculator for women estimates body mass index using the same standard formula as any BMI tool, but frames the result against healthy weight ranges that account for the typical female body composition. BMI is a weight-to-height screening measure: it flags whether your weight is in the underweight, healthy, overweight, or obese range relative to your height. For women, the healthy BMI range (18.5 to 24.9) maps to a specific kilogram window for a given height, which this calculator shows alongside the number so the result is actionable rather than abstract.

Use it as a quick screening check, not a body-fat measurement. BMI does not distinguish muscle from fat, so athletic women with above-average muscle may read as overweight without carrying excess fat. Pair the result with how your clothes fit and a tape measure rather than treating the number as a verdict. Enter your weight in kilograms and height in centimeters. Everything runs locally in your browser.

When to use this calculator

  • Screening whether current weight falls in the healthy BMI range for your height
  • Setting a realistic target weight that lands inside the 18.5 to 24.9 band
  • Tracking BMI over time during a fitness or weight-management program
  • Comparing BMI against waist measurement for a fuller health picture
  • Getting a quick screening number before a routine doctor visit

How the calculation works

BMI uses the standard World Health Organization formula: BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)^2, where height in meters is height in centimeters divided by 100. The healthy range is 18.5 to 24.9, so for a given height the healthy weight band is 18.5 x height(m)^2 to 24.9 x height(m)^2. For example, a 62 kg woman who is 162 cm tall (1.62 m): BMI = 62 / (1.62 x 1.62) = 62 / 2.6244 ~= 23.6, which sits in the healthy range. Her healthy weight band at that height runs from about 48.6 kg (18.5 x 2.6244) to about 65.4 kg (24.9 x 2.6244).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a healthy BMI range?▼
A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy for most adults. Below 18.5 is underweight, 25-29.9 is overweight, and 30 or above is obese.
Is BMI accurate for athletes?▼
BMI does not distinguish muscle from fat, so very muscular individuals may register as overweight despite low body fat. Use body-fat percentage for a fuller picture.
