Ideal Weight Calculator — 4 Clinically Validated Formulas
Find your ideal body weight range using the Devine, Robinson, Miller, and Hamwi formulas. Compare results side by side and understand which formula best fits your body frame.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I weigh for my height?
Ideal weight varies by formula. For a 5'10" male, the Devine formula suggests 166 lbs, Robinson gives 165 lbs, Miller gives 160 lbs, and Hamwi gives 172 lbs. This calculator runs all four formulas and shows you the full range so you can pick a realistic target.
Which ideal weight formula is the most accurate?
No single formula is universally best. The Devine formula (1974) is most commonly used in clinical settings. The Miller formula tends to give lower estimates. For most people, the average of all four formulas provides the most balanced target.
What factors affect ideal weight besides height?
Ideal weight formulas only use height and sex, which is a limitation. Muscle mass, bone structure, age, and body fat distribution all matter. A muscular person's ideal weight will be higher than what these formulas predict. Use ideal weight as a starting reference, not an absolute goal.
