🎯 Healthy Weight Calculator
A “healthy weight” is not one magic number — it is a range. Health authorities define it through the body mass index band of 18.5 to 24.9, which for each height converts into a minimum and maximum weight.
Enter your height and the calculator returns that range in kilograms. It is a screening band, not a personal prescription: very muscular builds can sit above it and still be healthy.
How to use this calculator
Enter your height in centimetres and the tool returns the healthy weight range for it.
- Enter your Height in the cm field.
- Read the headline healthy weight range in kilograms.
- Note the lower and upper ends listed underneath.
- Use the range as a realistic target band rather than a single number.
Frequently asked questions
How is the range calculated?
It converts the WHO healthy BMI band of 18.5 to 24.9 into kilograms for your height. At 175 cm that works out to about 56.7 to 76.3 kg.
Why a range instead of one ideal weight?
Healthy bodies vary with frame size, muscle and bone density. A range respects that variation; a single ideal number pretends it does not exist.
I am muscular and above the range. Is that bad?
Not necessarily. BMI-based ranges misread very muscular builds because muscle is dense. Pair this with the body fat calculator: if your body fat is healthy, the range matters less.
Which end of the range should I aim for?
Frame size helps decide: small-framed people suit the lower half and large-framed people the upper half. The body type calculator on this site estimates your frame from your wrist.
