A healthy weight calculator is a tool that helps you determine a healthy weight range based on factors like your height, age, gender, and body composition. It typically uses Body Mass Index (BMI) as a standard measurement to assess whether your weight falls within a healthy range.
How Does It Work?
Most healthy weight calculators rely on the BMI formula:
BMI=
Weight (kg)
/Height (m)

Based on your BMI, you are classified as:
Underweight:
BMI less than 18.5
Normal (Healthy) Weight:
BMI 18.5–24.9
Overweight:
BMI 25–29.9
Obesity:
BMI 30 or higher
