About this calculator
Several classic formulas estimate a reference weight from height and sex. They give a range rather than one perfect number, so the healthy BMI range is shown beside them.
The formula
Devine (men): 50 kg + 2.3 kg per inch over 5 feet (women: 45.5 kg)
Worked exampleMan, 180 cm (70.9 in) → Devine ≈ 75 kg.
Frequently asked questions
Which formula is best?
None is perfect. They were designed for drug dosing, not health targets. The BMI range is a more general guide.
Does build matter?

Is this medical advice?
