Estimate your Ideal Body Weight (IBW) using a commonly referenced clinical equation based on gender and height.
Provide gender and height to calculate an estimated ideal body weight.
Ideal Body Weight (IBW) is an estimate used in healthcare to describe a reference weight based on height and gender. One of the most commonly cited methods is the Devine formula, originally designed for medication dosing considerations and clinical calculations. IBW is not the same as “healthy weight” for everyone, but it can be a helpful starting point when discussing nutrition goals, medication dosing ranges, or general wellness planning.
Because IBW is calculated from height alone, it does not consider muscle mass, body fat percentage, age, pregnancy status, or certain medical conditions. People with athletic builds may have a higher weight while remaining healthy, and some individuals may have lower weights for personal or clinical reasons. For personalized guidance, discuss weight goals and health metrics with a qualified clinician.
