An online ideal weight calculator will help you calculate your optimal weight based on height, gender and age. Supports 6 different calculation formulas: Brock, Lorenz, Devin, Humvee, Robinson and Miller. Each formula takes into account various factors and gives its own result.
An ideal weight is a weight at which a person feels comfortable and has minimal health risks. Different formulas take into account different factors: height, gender, age, body type. Brock's formula is the simplest: Ideal weight = Height - 100 (for men) or Height - 110 (for women). Lorentz's formula is more accurate and takes into account gender. The calculator shows results for all formulas for comparison.
Let's look at practical examples of calculating ideal weight for various cases:

To get an accurate result, follow our recommendations when calculating your ideal weight.
Please indicate your exact height in centimeters without shoes - this is critical for an accurate calculation
Use multiple formulas to compare - different formulas may produce slightly different results
Consider age - some formulas take age into account when calculating
Remember that ideal weight is a guideline. For an accurate assessment, consult a doctor or nutritionist
Ideal weight is calculated using various formulas based on height, gender and age. The simplest Broca formula: For men = Height - 100, For women = Height - 110. More accurate formulas take into account additional factors.
There is no single most accurate formula. Each formula has its own characteristics and takes into account different factors. It is recommended to use several formulas and take the average value. Lorentz's formula is considered one of the most accurate.
Brock's formula is simple: Ideal weight = Height - 100 (men) or Height - 110 (women). The Lorenz formula is more accurate: For men = (Height - 100) - (Height - 150) / 4, For women = (Height - 100) - (Height - 150) / 2. The Lorenz formula gives more accurate results for people of average height.
Some formulas (Devina, Humvee) partially take into account age through adjustments. However, most formulas are based primarily on height and gender. For a more accurate calculation based on age, consultation with a doctor is recommended.
According to Brock's formula: 180 - 100 = 80 kg. According to the Lorentz formula: (180 - 100) - (180 - 150) / 4 = 80 - 7.5 = 72.5 kg. According to Devin's formula: 50 + 2.3 × (180 / 2.54 - 60) ≈ 75 kg. Typically, the ideal weight for a 180 cm man is 72-80 kg.
According to Brock's formula: 165 - 110 = 55 kg. According to the Lorentz formula: (165 - 100) - (165 - 150) / 2 = 65 - 7.5 = 57.5 kg. According to Devin's formula: 45.5 + 2.3 × (165 / 2.54 - 60) ≈ 57 kg. Typically, the ideal weight for a woman 165 cm is 55-58 kg.
Yes, as you age, your metabolism slows down and your normal weight may increase slightly. However, most ideal weight formulas do not take age directly into account. To take age into account, consultation with a doctor or nutritionist is recommended.
Devin's formula is a formula for calculating ideal weight that takes into account height in inches. For men: Ideal weight = 50 + 2.3 × (Height in inches - 60). For women: Ideal weight = 45.5 + 2.3 × (Height in inches - 60). The formula is popular in medicine.
The Humvee formula is another formula for calculating your ideal weight. For men: Ideal weight = 48 + 2.7 × (Height in inches - 60). For women: Ideal weight = 45.5 + 2.2 × (Height in inches - 60). The formula gives results close to Devin's formula.
Lorenz formula: For men = (Height - 100) - (Height - 150) / 4. For women = (Height - 100) - (Height - 150) / 2. For example, a man is 180 cm: (180 - 100) - (180 - 150) / 4 = 80 - 7.5 = 72.5 kg.
Ideal weight formulas are intended for adults (18 years and older). For children and adolescents, other calculation methods are used that take into account age, gender and developmental stages. For children, consultation with a pediatrician is recommended.
Yes, your body type (asthenic, normosthenic, hypersthenic) affects your ideal weight. People with wide bones (hypersthenics) can be overweight and still be healthy. Ideal weight formulas give average values.
Normal weight is the weight range at which a person has minimal health risks. Normal weight is usually within ±10% of ideal weight. For example, with an ideal weight of 70 kg, normal weight is 63-77 kg.
Normal Weight Range = Ideal Weight ± 10%. For example, with an ideal weight of 70 kg: Minimum = 70 × 0.9 = 63 kg, Maximum = 70 × 1.1 = 77 kg. Normal weight is 63-77 kg.
Ideal weight is the optimal weight for a particular person. Normal weight is the weight range (±10% of ideal) in which a person is considered healthy. Normal weight has a wider range than ideal weight.
For athletes, ideal weight formulas may be inaccurate because they have a higher percentage of muscle mass. Athletes can weigh above their ideal weight but still have a low body fat percentage. For athletes, consultation with a coach or sports physician is recommended.
No, ideal weight formulas do not take muscle mass into account. They are based on height, gender and sometimes age. For people with developed muscles (athletes, bodybuilders), the ideal weight according to formulas may be underestimated.
Ideal weight remains relatively constant after adulthood and the end of growth (usually after 18-20 years). You can check every few months or if there are significant changes in weight.
If your weight differs significantly from your ideal weight (more than 20%), consultation with a doctor or nutritionist is recommended. They will help you create a plan for normalizing your weight, taking into account your individual health characteristics.
Rapid weight loss or gain can be harmful to your health. A gradual weight change is recommended: 0.5-1 kg per week. Rapid changes can lead to metabolic and health problems.
During pregnancy, weight increases due to the fetus, placenta, amniotic fluid and other factors. Ideal weight formulas are not intended for pregnant women. Consultation with a gynecologist is recommended for weight control during pregnancy.
Yes, height is the main factor in calculating your ideal weight. The higher your height, the higher your ideal weight. All formulas take growth into account as the main parameter.
For tall people (over 190 cm), the Lorenz, Devin and Humvee formulas usually give more accurate results than the simple Broca formula. Broca's formula may overestimate ideal weight for tall people.
For short people (less than 160 cm), all formulas give relatively similar results. Lorentz's formula may be a little more accurate since it takes into account adjustments for different heights.
For older people (65+), the ideal weight may be slightly higher, as muscle mass decreases with age. However, the ideal weight formulas remain the same. It is recommended to consult a doctor to take into account age-related features.
BMI = Weight / (Height in meters)². Ideal weight corresponds to a BMI in the range of 18.5-24.9 (normal weight). Ideal weight can be calculated from BMI: Weight = BMI × (Height in meters)². For example, with a height of 1.75 m and a BMI of 22: Weight = 22 × 3.0625 = 67.4 kg.
Ideal weight formulas do not directly take into account body fat percentage. For a more accurate assessment, it is recommended to measure the percentage of fat (calipers, bioimpedance) and take into account muscle mass. Normal body fat percentage: men 10-20%, women 18-28%.
Yes, an ideal weight calculator can help you determine your diet goal. However, to create a nutrition and exercise plan, consultation with a nutritionist or fitness trainer is recommended.
For people with amputations, special formulas are used taking into account the amputated body parts. Ideal weight formulas do not take amputations into account. It is recommended to consult a doctor for an accurate calculation.
Yes, heredity affects body type, metabolism and tendency to gain weight. However, ideal weight formulas are based on averages and do not take into account heredity. To take into account hereditary factors, consultation with a doctor is recommended.
