Healthy Weight Calculator

Just your height — see the full range of weights considered healthy for it.

Your height

Based on the standard healthy BMI band of 18.5–24.9, applied to your height.

Healthy weight range
122 – 164 lb

This is a population-level range based on height alone — it doesn't account for muscle mass, frame size, or body composition. A very muscular person may weigh more than this range while still being lean and healthy.

A worked example

At 5'8", the healthy BMI band of 18.5–24.9 corresponds to a weight range of roughly 122–164 lb.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the BMI Calculator?

The BMI Calculator tells you where your specific current weight falls. This works the other direction — given just your height, it shows the entire range of weights that would land in the healthy BMI band.

Why is the range so wide?

Because BMI itself is a fairly broad screening tool — the same height can carry a wide range of healthy weights depending on frame size, muscle mass, and individual build. The range reflects that built-in flexibility.
