About BMI Calculator Online

The BMI Calculator Tool is an online utility that allows users to calculate their BMI. The BMI stands for Body Mass Index. Users can simply enter their weight and height and can calculate their BMI.

What is BMI?

The BMI stands for "Body Mass Index". It is a measure used to estimate whether a person has a healthy body weight for height.

How Body Mass Index (BMI) is Calculated?

The Body Mass Index is calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters (BMI = kg/m^2).

Let's try to understand through an example taking input and output scenario:

Height = 170 cm
Weight = 64 kg

Formula (BMI) = Weight in kg / ((height  / 100) ^ 2)
    = (64) / ((170/100)^2)
    = 22.15

After seeing the above calculations, you have an idea how to calculate the BMI.
