Frequently Asked Questions
Which formula is most accurate?
There is no single “most accurate” formula. The Devine formula is widely used in medical settings. We show multiple formulas for comparison.
Should I aim for the middle of the range?
The middle of the range is often a good target, but body composition (muscle vs fat) matters more than the number on the scale.
Does this account for muscle mass?
No. These formulas are general estimates. Athletes with high muscle mass may weigh more than the “ideal” range while still being very healthy.
Is ideal weight the same as healthy weight?
They are closely related. Ideal weight calculators give a target range, while BMI and body fat percentage give broader health context.
Can children use this calculator?
No. These formulas are designed for adults only.
