About this tool: Ideal Weight Calculator
Calculate Devine, Robinson, Miller and Hamwi reference-weight estimates from height and sex parameter, presented as reference values rather than a medically ideal target.
The result is a general informational estimate for adults and should not be treated as medical advice, diagnosis or treatment guidance.
Ideal Weight Calculator is presented in the shared NexterHub tool layout so the working controls stay near the top while the method, example, limitations and related utilities remain available below the result.
How it works
Each formula starts from a reference weight at 5 feet and adds a formula-specific amount for each additional inch.
Practical example
At the same height, the four formulas return a small range rather than one definitive target.
Important notes
Individual health circumstances differ; use the estimate as general information and consult a qualified professional for personal medical decisions.
