More Than a Number on the Scale
The concept of 'ideal weight' is complex and varies greatly from person to person. Instead of a single number, it's more accurate to think of a healthy weight range.
Our calculator uses recognized formulas to provide this range, helping you set a realistic goal.
How the Calculation is Done
Devine Formula (1974)
For Men
For Women
One of the most classic and widely used formulas.
Robinson Formula (1983)
For Men
For Women
An adjustment to the Devine formula, also very popular.
Calculation Based on Ideal BMI
This is the most modern approach, providing a range based on the healthy BMI recommended by the WHO.
Factors that Influence Ideal Weight
Body Composition
Muscle is denser than fat. Athletes may have a higher ideal weight.
Tip: Use a body fat calculator.
Body Structure
Bone density and frame size (small, medium, large) influence weight.
Tip: A larger frame may mean a higher ideal weight.
Age
Body composition changes with age, which may alter the ideal weight.
Tip: Focus on functionality and health, not just weight.
