The Ideal Weight Calculator estimates a healthy body weight based on your height. It uses a target BMI of 22, which is near the center of the normal weight range (18.5 to 24.9) recommended by the World Health Organization. This midpoint is widely regarded as a balanced target for overall health.
Whether you are setting a fitness goal, planning a diet, or simply curious about what a healthy weight looks like for your height, this calculator gives you a quick, evidence-based reference point. Remember that ideal weight varies based on body composition, age, and individual health factors.
The calculator reverses the standard BMI formula. Instead of calculating BMI from weight and height, it solves for the weight that produces a BMI of 22:
Ideal Weight (kg) = 22 x Height (m)^2
This is derived from the BMI formula BMI = Weight / Height^2 by setting BMI to 22 and solving for weight. A BMI of 22 is considered an optimal midpoint within the healthy range of 18.5 to 24.9.
The Ideal Weight shows the body weight in kilograms that corresponds to a BMI of 22 for your given height. The Target BMI is the reference value used in the calculation (always 22). Keep in mind that a healthy weight range spans from a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9, so your ideal weight may differ based on your frame size, muscle mass, and personal health goals.

A person who is 190 cm tall has an ideal weight of roughly 79.4 kg (about 175 lbs) at a BMI of 22.
A BMI of 22 sits near the middle of the World Health Organization's "normal" range (18.5 to 24.9). Research suggests that a BMI in the low-to-mid 20s is associated with the lowest risk of weight-related health problems. Using 22 gives a balanced, moderate target that applies to most adults.
Yes, in general men tend to have more muscle mass and denser bones, so their ideal weight may be slightly higher than a woman of the same height. However, the BMI-based formula used here produces the same result for both genders because BMI does not differentiate by sex. For gender-specific estimates, formulas like the Devine or Robinson formula are sometimes used.
Not necessarily. "Ideal weight" from a BMI formula is a general guideline. A healthy weight depends on many factors including muscle mass, bone density, body fat distribution, and overall fitness level. Athletes, for example, may weigh more than their "ideal" BMI weight due to muscle mass and still be in excellent health.
