Body Metrics

Ideal Weight Calculator

Estimate a healthy reference weight for your height using four classic clinical formulas (Devine, Robinson, Miller, Hamwi).

Ideal Weight

What your result means

These formulas were developed for medication dosing — they give a clinically reasonable weight, not an aesthetic target.

How we calculate this

We compute each of the four formulas independently and return both the average and the full range.

Limitations

None of the four formulas account for body frame, muscle mass, ethnicity, or age. Treat the number as a rough guide, not a target.
