About the Ideal Weight Calculator
There's no single 'ideal' weight, but several established formulas estimate a healthy target from your height and sex. Enter yours and the calculator shows the Devine and Robinson ideal-weight estimates in both pounds and kilograms. Use it as a rough reference alongside BMI and body-fat percentage rather than a hard target.

Frequently asked questions
How is ideal weight calculated?
Formulas like Devine start from a base weight at 5 feet and add a set amount per inch of height, differing by sex. Results are estimates, not medical targets.
Is ideal weight the same as healthy weight?
Not exactly — 'healthy weight' is usually a BMI-based range. Use the Healthy Weight Calculator for that range.
