About Ideal Weight Calculator
Calculate ideal weight using Hamwi, Devine, Robinson, and Miller formulas plus BMI-based healthy range. Shows minimum, ideal, and maximum healthy weights for your height. Includes Indian-specific adjustments for South Asian body types.
There is no single “correct“ ideal weight formula — the Hamwi, Devine, Robinson, and Miller formulas were each developed at different times using different reference populations, and they can produce noticeably different results for the same height, particularly for people at the taller or shorter end of the height range. Rather than picking one formula as definitively correct, comparing multiple established methods alongside a BMI-based healthy range gives a more realistic picture of a reasonable weight range rather than a single overly-precise number that implies more accuracy than any of these formulas actually have. This calculator runs all four classic formulas together with a BMI-based range so you can see where they agree and where they diverge.
