Body Metrics Calculator

Height, weight and BMI — convert between lbs, kg, stones, inches and cm

Weight Converter

How this works: Weight converts with 1 kg = 2.20462 lb, then stone is the whole number of 14-lb blocks plus leftover pounds. Height uses 1 inch = 2.54 cm, then feet + leftover inches. BMI is kg ÷ (height in metres)², with the usual underweight / normal / overweight / obese labels. Not medical advice.

How this works

Weight converts between kilograms and pounds using the standard factor 1 kg = 2.20462 lb, then breaks the pound figure down into stone by dividing into 14-pound blocks with the remainder shown as leftover pounds — the way weight is commonly expressed in the UK and Ireland.

Height converts using 1 inch = 2.54 cm exactly, then the total inches are broken into feet plus leftover inches for the imperial format most commonly used to describe a person's height.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is calculated as weight in kg ÷ (height in metres)², then classified into the standard underweight, normal, overweight, and obese bands used internationally. BMI is a simple population-level screening measure, not a diagnostic tool, and it doesn't distinguish muscle mass from body fat — treat the result as general information, not medical advice.

FAQ

Is BMI an accurate measure of my personal health?

BMI is a simple, widely-used screening measure based only on height and weight — it doesn't account for muscle mass, body composition, age, or sex, so a very muscular person can show as 'overweight' despite having low body fat. Use it as general information rather than a personal health diagnosis, and talk to a healthcare professional for a fuller picture.

How is stone calculated from pounds?

Divide the total pounds by 14 (the number of pounds in one stone) — the whole number of 14-pound blocks becomes the stone figure, and whatever's left over is shown as the remaining pounds.

What do the underweight/normal/overweight/obese BMI bands mean?

They're the standard international BMI classification ranges based on your BMI value — a general population screening tool, not a personalized clinical assessment.

Can I enter measurements in either metric or imperial units?

Yes — weight converts between kg and lb/stone, and height converts between cm and feet/inches, using the standard exact conversion factors.
