Notes to keep in mind
Ideal weight formulas estimate a reasonable body weight based on height and sex. They are best viewed as a range, not a rule.
Your healthiest weight may vary depending on muscle mass, frame size, age, and medical history.
This calculator uses the Devine formula as a practical benchmark. It is commonly used in clinical and fitness contexts.
Treat the result as a planning checkpoint. Combine it with BMI, body fat, and performance markers before deciding on a goal.
