Introduction

Knowing your ideal body weight is useful for setting realistic fitness goals. However, there is no single "perfect" weight — different formulas give slightly different results. This calculator uses four commonly used formulas (Devine, Robinson, Miller, and Hamwi) to give you a range rather than a single number, plus a healthy BMI-based range.

What is this calculator?

The Ideal Weight Calculator Pakistan computes your ideal body weight using four different formulas. It also shows the healthy weight range based on BMI (18.5–24.9 for WHO, 18.5–22.9 for Asian).

Formula

Devine: Men: 50 kg + 2.3 kg per inch over 5 ft. Women: 45.5 kg + 2.3 kg per inch over 5 ft.

Robinson: Men: 52 kg + 1.9 kg per inch over 5 ft. Women: 49 kg + 1.7 kg per inch over 5 ft.

Miller: Men: 56.2 kg + 1.41 kg per inch over 5 ft. Women: 53.1 kg + 1.36 kg per inch over 5 ft.

Hamwi: Men: 48 kg + 2.7 kg per inch over 5 ft. Women: 45.5 kg + 2.2 kg per inch over 5 ft.

How to use the calculator

  1. Select your gender.
  2. Enter your height (cm).
  3. Click Calculate Ideal Weight.
