BMI calculator

Enter your height in feet and inches and weight in pounds to calculate your body mass index (BMI).

Weight (lbs)

Your BMI

Height: 6'1" (73 inches)

Weight: 219 lbs

BMI: 28.9

According to the CDC, this would be considered overweight for all adults age 20 and older. A BMI is classified as overweight if it's 25 to 29.9.

How this estimate works

This calculator uses the standard adult BMI formula for U.S. units: BMI = (weight in pounds ÷ height in inches²) × 703.06.

Adult BMI ranges and what they mean

For adults age 20 and older, BMI is grouped into standard categories based on height and weight. Standard BMI categories are underweight, healthy weight, overweight, and obesity.

Below 18.5: Underweight
18.5 to 24.9: Healthy weight
25.0 to 29.9: Overweight
30.0 or higher: Obesity

Underweight (below 18.5)

A BMI below 18.5 falls in the underweight range. This can sometimes be associated with inadequate nutrition, illness, or other health concerns.

Healthy weight (18.5 to 24.9)

A BMI from 18.5 to 24.9 is considered the healthy weight range for most adults. This range is commonly used as a general screening benchmark.

Overweight (25.0 to 29.9)

A BMI from 25.0 to 29.9 is considered overweight. This does not diagnose a disease by itself, but it can be a sign of higher risk for certain health problems.

Obesity (30.0 or higher)

A BMI of 30.0 or higher falls in the obesity range. Obesity is often divided into additional classes based on BMI level.

Important note about BMI

BMI is a screening metric and does not directly measure body fat, muscle mass, age, or sex, so results can be less representative for certain groups, including very muscular people, some older adults, and pregnant women.

Relevant HSA expenses

If you have an HSA, you may wonder whether weight loss programs, gym membership fees, or fitness trackers like Apple Watches are eligible expenses. Sometimes they can be, but eligibility often depends on medical necessity and plan rules vary. If you are using HSA funds, keep documentation that connects the expense to medical care and check with your plan administrator when in doubt.
