BMI calculator

Your body mass index from height and weight, and the healthy weight range for your height on the WHO scale.

Track it every day in the app

BMI cannot tell muscle from fat. In Gloox you log body measurements and body fat, and see what a change in weight is really made of.

How BMI is calculated

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. For example, 75 kg at 180 cm: 75 / (1.8 × 1.8) = 23.1.

Where BMI falls short

It does not know how much of your weight is muscle. A trained person with a lot of muscle can be over 25 with low body fat. Body fat from measurements is more telling there.

Questions

What is a healthy BMI?

18.5 to 24.9 for adults, on the WHO scale.

Does BMI work for teenagers and athletes?

Teenagers use separate tables by age, and for athletes with a lot of muscle BMI often reads too high.
