Ideal Weight Calculator – Calculate healthy weight range based on height

The ideal weight calculator determines healthy weight ranges based on height and body frame using multiple formulas: BMI-based, Devine, Robinson, and Miller. See the range different formulas provide.

Healthy weight isn't one number but a range. The tool shows results from multiple formulas side by side for a more comprehensive view of your situation. Remember that athletes with muscle mass may have a higher 'ideal weight'.

What's a healthy weight for someone 5'7" tall?

BMI 18.5–24.9 suggests 118–159 lbs for someone 5'7". The Devine formula suggests about 135 lbs for women, 145 lbs for men at 5'7". These are guideline values — a doctor or nutritionist can assess your individual situation comprehensively.
