Frequently asked questions
Is my height and weight sent anywhere?
No. The BMI calculation runs entirely in your browser using plain JavaScript. Nothing you enter is uploaded, logged, or stored.
How is BMI calculated?
BMI = weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (weight / (height_m × height_m)). It's a widely used screening measure, not a diagnosis.
Is BMI accurate for everyone?
BMI is a general screening tool and doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, age, or sex directly. Athletes and very muscular people can show a higher BMI without excess body fat. Talk to a healthcare provider for a full assessment.
What do the categories mean?
Under 18.5 is Underweight, 18.5–24.9 is Normal weight, 25–29.9 is Overweight, and 30+ is Obese, per World Health Organization standard adult ranges.
