Remember that this calculator provides an estimate. Individual variations and health conditions may affect your actual ideal weight.

Formula used

The formula used in our calculator combines height and age to provide a more accurate estimate of ideal weight:

For men: Ideal Weight = (Height - 100 - (Age - 20) × 0.2) × 0.9

For women: Ideal Weight = (Height - 100 - (Age - 20) × 0.2) × 0.85

This formula adjusts the standard height-based calculation by accounting for age-related changes in body composition.

Interpreting the results

The result from our calculator provides an estimate of your ideal weight range. Here's what the different categories mean:

Underweight: Your actual weight is significantly below the ideal range
Normal weight: Your weight falls within the healthy range
Overweight: Your weight is above the ideal range but not yet classified as obese
Obese: Your weight is significantly above the ideal range

Consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice about your weight and health.

Worked example

Let's calculate the ideal weight for a 30-year-old woman who is 165 cm tall.

Height = 165 cm
Age = 30 years
Gender = Female

Using the formula for women:

Ideal Weight = (165 - 100 - (30 - 20) × 0.2) × 0.85

= (65 - 2) × 0.85

= 63 × 0.85

= 53.55 kg

This calculation suggests an ideal weight range of approximately 53.55 kg for this individual.
