Ideal weight by height

Searching for the ideal weight at a specific height usually means wanting a real number, not just a formula. This page lists ten heights from 150 cm (4’11”) to 195 cm (6’5”), each with its own dedicated page built around the World Health Organization’s healthy weight range for that exact height.

Every card below already shows that range in kilograms, so picking the height closest to yours gives you an answer immediately. Open the full page for a given height for more: a complete table that matches every relevant weight to its BMI and category — so a question like “70 kg for 175 cm” is answered by a single row — plus the historical Lorentz, Devine and Creff ideal-weight formulas worked out for a man and a woman of that height.

None of the ranges below describe one single “correct” weight. Each is an interval: any weight inside it falls under the World Health Organization’s normal-weight category, and that stays true across the whole range, not only at its midpoint. Two people sharing a height can have very different, equally healthy weights, because build, bone structure and muscle mass are not part of this calculation. If you would rather get an exact figure for your own weight instead of a height-based range, the BMI calculator computes your precise Body Mass Index and category directly.
