- Enter your height in the selected unit
- For feet, use decimal format (e.g., 5.7 for 5'7")
Step 4: View Results
The calculator will automatically display:
- Average Ideal Weight: Mean of all formulas
- Individual Formula Results: Devine, Robinson, Miller, and Hamwi
- Healthy Weight Range: Based on BMI 18.5-24.9
- Personalized Interpretation: Age-specific recommendations
Understanding the Results
Medical Formulas
- Devine Formula (1974): Most widely used in medical settings for drug dosing
- Robinson Formula (1983): Updated version of Devine with adjusted coefficients
- Miller Formula (1983): Alternative modern approach with different baseline
- Hamwi Formula (1964): Classic clinical formula still used today
Healthy Weight Range
Based on BMI (Body Mass Index) between 18.5 and 24.9, which is associated with lowest health risks for most people.
Using Your Results
- Use the average as a general target
- Consider the healthy weight range as your optimal zone
- Individual formulas may vary - this is normal
- Muscle mass, frame size, and body composition matter more than the number
