How to calculate Ideal Body Weight (IBW) Calculator

Step-by-step Guide & Informational Intent

  1. 1.Select your Gender and enter your current Age.
  2. 2.Input your Height accurately in cm or feet/inches.
  3. 3.The calculator will instantly generate your Ideal Weight across multiple formulas.
  4. 4.View the 'Healthy Weight Range' which provides more flexibility.
  5. 5.Use this target to set realistic fitness and dietary goals.

How the Calculation Works

Ideal Body Weight is calculated using height-based multipliers. The formulas vary slightly in how they weight the 'base' height (usually 5 feet), providing a spectrum of values for you to consider.

Important Assumptions

  • Devine and Robinson formulas are primary standards
  • Based on standard adult body proportions
  • Does not distinguish between muscle mass and fat mass
  • Best used as a guidance range rather than a number

Goal Setting Examples

Height 5'7" Male: The ideal weight range is typically between 63kg and 68kg across various formulas.
Height 5'2" Female: The target range is often between 48kg and 53kg for optimal health.
Muscle Mass: If you're an athlete, you may weigh 5-10kg more than your 'Ideal Weight' but still be very healthy.
The 'Healthy Range': Our calculator also shows the weight corresponding to a 18.5-23 BMI for better context.

The Healthy Range feature is great. Instead of chasing a single number, I now aim for the 'Green Zone' which feels much more achievable.

Ideal Body Weight (IBW) Calculator FAQs

Our online IBW calculator helps you determine a healthy weight range based on scientific formulas and your body frame. Finding your target weight is the first step toward achieving a balanced and active Indian lifestyle.

Ideal Body Weight is a theoretical weight range derived from mathematical formulas. It's meant to represent the weight at which an individual has the lowest risk of developing weight-related health issues.
We use the most widely accepted scientific formulas, including the Devine, Robinson, Miller, and Hamwi formulas, to provide a comprehensive range for your height and gender.
While these formulas are standard globally, for the Indian population, it is generally recommended to use these in conjunction with the 'Asian BMI' standards to account for higher body fat risks at average weights.
IBW formulas are strictly based on height and do not account for muscle mass or bone density. If you are very muscular or have a large bone frame, your healthy weight will likely be higher than the 'Ideal Weight' calculated here.
Focus on portion control, especially with rice and rotis. Incorporate more protein-rich Indian foods like Dal, Channa, and Soy. Consistency and small lifestyle changes are more effective than sudden 'crash' diets.
No. Other metrics like Waist-to-Hip ratio, body fat percentage, and overall fitness levels (strength and stamina) are equally important indicators of your health status.
