Understanding the Ideal Weight Calculator

This calculator provides an estimated "ideal" body weight range based on your height and gender using several popular formulas. It's important to remember that these are just estimates and do not account for individual differences in body composition, like muscle mass or frame size.

The Formulas Used

We provide results from four different common formulas to give you a comprehensive range:

  • G. J. Hamwi Formula (1964): One of the oldest and most widely used formulas.
  • B. J. Devine Formula (1974): Originally developed for medication dosage calculations.
  • J. D. Robinson Formula (1983): A modification of the Devine formula.
  • D. R. Miller Formula (1983): Another modification of the Devine formula.

These formulas are generally most accurate for adults of average build and should be used as a general guideline. For a more personalized view of your health, consider using this tool alongside our BMI Calculator and Body Fat Calculator.
