Healthy Weight Range
Your Ideal Weight Range for Your Height
Healthy Weight Range Calculator
Find the healthy weight range for your height
This tool is based on WHO's BMI healthy range and provides a general estimate. It does not account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition. Not a substitute for professional medical advice.
What is Healthy Weight Range?
The Healthy Weight Range calculator tells you the minimum and maximum weight that corresponds to a “normal” BMI (18.5–24.9) for your specific height. This gives you a practical weight range to aim for.
Unlike BMI alone, the weight range is immediately actionable — you know exactly how many kilograms to lose or gain to reach a healthy weight.
Why does this matter?
Why does this matter?
Setting a weight goal without context can be arbitrary or dangerous. Knowing your healthy weight range ensures your target is medically grounded, realistic, and achievable without extremes.
How to Use This Tool
- Enter your height in centimeters. Measure barefoot and stand straight.
- Click "Calculate Range" to see the lower bound (BMI 18.5) and upper bound (BMI 24.9).
- Compare your current weight to the range.
- Use this as a starting point for setting your weight management goals.
Tips for Accurate Results
- If you are close to the boundaries, even small lifestyle changes (diet + walking 30 min/day) can move you into the range.
- Aim for the middle of the range rather than either extreme for the best health outcomes.
- Athletes with high muscle mass may healthily sit above the upper bound of this range.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the middle of the range the best target?
For most people, yes. The middle of your healthy weight range (around BMI 21–22) is associated with the lowest all-cause mortality in large population studies.
My healthy range seems too low. Is the calculator accurate?
The calculator is based on standard WHO BMI guidelines. If the result surprises you, consider that societal norms around weight may not align with medical recommendations. Consult your doctor for personalized advice.
How much should I lose per week to reach my goal?
A safe, sustainable rate is 0.5 kg/week. This requires a ~500 kcal/day deficit. Use the Daily Calorie Calculator to find your target intake. Rapid weight loss increases the risk of muscle loss and nutritional deficiencies.
