Ideal Weight Calculator

A healthy target weight for your height

Shop bathroom scales →

Get an ideal body weight estimate for your height, plus the full healthy weight range based on a normal BMI.

There's no single 'ideal'

We show the classic Devine ideal-weight figure plus the broader healthy range (BMI 18.5–24.9). A healthy weight is a range, not one number — frame, muscle and age all matter.

Frequently asked questions

What should I weigh for my height?

Use the healthy range shown (based on BMI 18.5–24.9); the Devine figure is one common reference point within it.

Is muscle accounted for?

No — like BMI, these formulas use only height, so very muscular people may read 'over' their ideal.
