Body Mass Index or BMI is the standardized method for determining whether your body weight and the amount of body fat you have are in a healthy range. A BMI Calculator uses a weight-to-height ratio (BMI=kg/m2) and assigns a number to the result. The number ranges between 18.5 - 30 or greater. Generally speaking, a BMI over 25 is considered overweight and 30 or above is obese. People with a higher percentage of body fat tend to have a higher BMI except for body builders.
