Summary

Enter your height and weight to get your BMI Prime ratio and precise weight-status classification, from severely underweight to super obese.

How it works

  1. Enter your height and weight in metric (cm / kg) or imperial (ft·in / lb) units.
  2. The tool converts your measurements to metric and computes BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)².
  3. BMI Prime is then calculated as BMI ÷ 25.
  4. Your result is matched against the eight standard BMI Prime classification bands.
  5. A color-coded scale shows exactly where your BMI Prime falls.
  6. Healthy BMI Prime range (0.74 – 1.00) and your corresponding healthy weight range are displayed.

Use cases

  • Quickly gauge how far your weight is from the healthy upper limit.
  • Compare BMI Prime across individuals of different heights without rescaling.
  • Track progress toward or away from the healthy weight range over time.
  • Use as a single normalised number when reporting weight status in research or health apps.
  • Understand nuanced weight categories beyond the standard four WHO BMI bands.
  • Estimate the healthy weight target range for your height.
