Understanding the Inputs

The reverse BMI calculator needs two items of information.

BMI: The target body mass index you want to achieve. The normal range is 18.5 to 24.9.

Height: Your height can be given in centimeters or in feet and inches. Choose the unit that is most comfortable for you.

How the Calculation Works

The formula is simple. It uses the equation: weight (kg) = BMI x (height in meters squared).

First, your height in centimeters converts to meters. Then, the calculator squares the height and multiplies it by your BMI value.

The result is shown in kilograms and is also turned into pounds and stones with pounds.

Interpreting the Results

The output shows your estimated target weight.

You see weight in three units for clarity. The calculator also classifies the BMI as Underweight, Normal weight, Overweight, or Obese.

This classification helps you know how your BMI compares to health standards.

Limitations and Special Notes
