About the Ideal Weight Calculator by Age

Ideal Weight Calculator by Age estimates your ideal body weight (IBW) using four widely-used clinical formulas — Devine, Robinson, Miller and Hamwi — and averages them so you end up with a single, defensible target.

How to use

  1. Choose gender.
  2. Enter age and height in centimetres.
  3. Click Calculate to see each formula's result and the average.

Benefits & key features

  • Four trusted formulas let you triangulate instead of trusting one.
  • Separate baselines for men and women.
  • Returns a ±5% range — weight is a band, not a single number.
  • Pairs with the TDEE calculator for daily calorie planning.

Pro tip

Clinical IBW formulas ignore frame size. Someone with a 'large frame' can be 5-10% above the formula average and still be perfectly healthy.
