Ideal Weight Formulas

This calculator uses four scientifically-developed formulas to estimate ideal body weight.

Devine (1974): Most widely used in clinical settings
Robinson (1983): Modified version of Devine
Miller (1983): Tends to give higher values
Hamwi (1964): One of the earliest formulas

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ideal weight for my height?

Ideal weight varies by gender and frame size. For a 170cm male, it ranges from 63-73 kg depending on the formula used.

Which ideal weight formula is most accurate?

No single formula is perfect. The average of Devine, Robinson, Miller, and Hamwi formulas gives a reasonable range.

Does frame size affect ideal weight?

Yes. People with larger bone structure (wider wrists, broader shoulders) naturally weigh more at the same height.
