BMI Calculator
Calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI), health classification according to WHO, and ideal weight range.
Calculates Body Mass Index (BMI), healthy weight ranges, and WHO classification categories locally in your browser memory. Sensitive personal health metrics are never logged, tracked, or sent across the network.
The FileTools Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator evaluates the ratio of body weight to height to categorize individuals according to standard World Health Organization (WHO) adult weight classifications. While BMI does not directly measure body fat percentage, it serves as a widely recognized clinical screening tool to identify whether an individual is underweight, healthy weight, overweight, or obese. This calculator supports both Metric (kg/cm) and Imperial (lbs/ft/in) measurement systems with instant category visualizers.

Important Operational Notes & Realistic Limitations
- IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTICE: BMI is a general statistical screening tool and does not distinguish between muscle mass and fat tissue.
- Athletes, bodybuilders, pregnant women, the elderly, and growing children have different body composition profiles not accounted for by standard adult BMI.
- BMI scores should not be used as a standalone diagnostic tool; consult qualified medical doctors or registered dietitians for personal health advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the standard WHO BMI categories?
Underweight: < 18.5 | Normal weight: 18.5 – 24.9 | Overweight: 25.0 – 29.9 | Obese Class I: 30.0 – 34.9 | Obese Class II: 35.0 – 39.9 | Obese Class III: ≥ 40.0.
Why can athletes have high BMI scores while being healthy?
Muscle tissue is denser than fat tissue. Muscular athletes often have high body weight for their height, resulting in high BMI scores despite very low body fat.
Is BMI calculated differently for men and women?
The mathematical formula for adult BMI is identical for men and women, though typical body fat distributions vary between biological sexes.
Are my personal health measurements kept private?
Yes. FileTools runs 100% on your device. We do not transmit, collect, or store any personal health metrics.
What units can I use to enter height and weight?
You can enter height in centimeters or feet/inches, and weight in kilograms or pounds, with instant unit conversion.
How are the BMI categories defined?
Categories follow World Health Organization (WHO) standards: Underweight (<18.5), Normal (18.5–24.9), Overweight (25–29.9), and Obese (≥30).
