Ideal Weight Calculator

How is Ideal Weight Formulated?

There is no universally perfect weight. However, medical equations like the Devine Formula (1974) and the Miller Formula (1983) were created to map optimal drug dosimetry based on a patient's height. These formulas eventually became standard metrics for establishing a target "ideal healthy weight" for the general population.

The Mathematical Science

Both formulas establish a strict base weight at 5 feet tall, and mathematically scale up linearly for every inch above 5 Feet. Our calculator automatically averages the findings of both peer-reviewed formulas to present you with a balanced, stable target range.
