TranslateIdeal Weight Calculator
Ideal weight calculators give a reference point for your height, using a formula that's been used in clinical settings for decades. It's a population average, not a personal target — enter your height and sex to see the reference number.
Enter your height and sex above to see your reference weight.
How this is worked out
Ideal weight uses the Devine formula (1974) — a commonly cited reference point, not a personal prescription; it doesn't account for muscle mass or frame size.
Every figure here is a population average, not a prescription. Hold a target for two or three weeks, track what actually happens, and adjust. If you have a medical condition or are pregnant, talk to a doctor or dietitian rather than a calculator.
Frequently asked questions
How is ideal weight calculated?
This calculator uses the Devine formula (1974), a reference point originally developed for medical dosing that has since become a common clinical benchmark.
Is the ideal weight number a real target?
No — it's a population-average reference point for your height. It doesn't account for your muscle mass or frame size, so it shouldn't be treated as a personal goal.
