BMI Calculator

Body Mass Index from height and weight — a quick general fitness check.

Uses the general WHO BMI categories. Specific recruiting bodies (Army/PAF/Navy/Police) often apply their own height-weight or fitness standard for medical screening — check the relevant advertisement for the exact requirement.

Equation used
BMI = dfracWeight (kg)Height (m)^2

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a healthy BMI range?

The WHO classes 18.5–24.9 as the "Normal" range for adults. Below 18.5 is Underweight, 25–29.9 is Overweight, and 30 or above is Obese.

Does BMI apply to Pakistan Army, PAF, Navy or Police recruitment?

Not directly. Those bodies usually publish their own height-weight or body-fat standard in the recruitment advertisement, which can differ from the general WHO bands shown here — always check the specific ad for the exact medical requirement.

What is BMI Prime?

BMI Prime is your BMI divided by the upper limit of the Normal range (25). A BMI Prime of 1.0 means you're exactly at that boundary — above 1.0 is Overweight or Obese, below is Normal or Underweight.

Is BMI accurate for athletes or very muscular people?

No. BMI doesn't distinguish muscle from fat, so very muscular people can show as "Overweight" despite low body fat. It's a quick population-level screen, not a precise body-composition measurement.
