What is a BMI Calculator?
A BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator is a tool that helps you determine if your weight is healthy for your height. It's a widely used screening tool that gives you a quick estimate of your body fat based on your height and weight.
Formula
BMI = weight / (height)²
Weight in kg, Height in meters
Example
Example: A person weighs 70 kg and is 175 cm tall
Height in meters = 175 ÷ 100 = 1.75 m
BMI = 70 ÷ (1.75)²
BMI = 70 ÷ 3.06
BMI = 22.9 (Normal Weight)
