Calculate your BMI

Questionnaire

This calculator computes the body mass index and rates it appropriately for men, women, children, juveniles and seniors. The SBMI – an index that has been developed four years ago especially for this calculator – serves for this purpose. It is based on the results of the most comprehensive study* published so far on the BMI and its associated health risks.

The values entered here will only be stored in the results page of your browser and nowhere else. Your privacy is guaranteed.

Necessary for calculation

Are you sure that you have entered your target weight correctly? You must enter the weight that you want to achieve (not your intended weight loss)! Enter a target weight not lower than half your current weight. If you use the questionnaire with imperial units, make sure that you have entered the pounds of your target weight in the appropriate field. If you want to enter your target weight just in pounds, leave the stones field empty. If you want to enter your target weight in stones and pounds and no stones field is present, click the appropriate link in the section "necessary for calculation".
