How this calculator works
This calculator compares your current weight to the top of the standard healthy BMI range (a BMI of 24.9) for your height, to show roughly how much weight would need to change to bring your BMI back into that range.
The formula used
The maximum ‘healthy range’ weight is calculated as 24.9 × (height in meters)², and the excess is your current weight minus that value (shown as zero if you are already within or below the healthy range).
BMI-based ranges are population screening tools and don’t account for muscle mass, body composition, or individual health factors. This calculator is for general educational and planning purposes only and is not medical advice.
