What it does The Full Screen BMI Calculator takes your weight (kg) and height (cm), converts height to meters, then applies the WHO formula BMI = weight ÷ height². The result is a single number that tells you where you stand on the weight‑status spectrum.
Why it matters BMI is a quick, widely‑used indicator of whether you may be underweight, in a healthy range (18.5–25), overweight, or obese. Knowing this helps you decide if you need to adjust diet, activity, or seek professional advice.
How to read it
- Below 18.5 → Underweight
- 18.5 – 25 → Healthy weight
- 25 – 30 → Overweight
- Above 30 → Obesity
