How this is calculated
Formula: Devine, Robinson, Miller, and Hamwi reference-weight formulas at 5′4″
Height is fixed at 5′4″ (64 inches or 162.6 cm), and the calculator applies several established ideal-body-weight equations.
These formulas were developed as clinical dosing or reference rules, not as cosmetic targets. Their different results demonstrate that ideal weight is not one exact number.
BMI at this height can add a broad population reference, while waist size, body composition, age, and health history provide personal context.
What the estimates mean at 5′4″
| Reference | What it provides | Limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Formula average | Central reference | Varies by equation and sex input |
| BMI 18.5–24.9 | Broad screening interval | Does not measure body fat |
| Your healthiest range | Individual | Depends on more than height |
Use a reference, not a rigid target
Tips
- •Compare all formulas instead of selecting the lowest number.
- •Consider strength, energy, labs, menstrual health, and waist size.
- •Set gradual behavior goals rather than chasing a deadline.
- •Ask a clinician about unexplained weight change.

Frequently asked questions
There is no single medically correct weight. Different formulas produce different references, and a healthy individual weight depends on body composition and health.
Formula results are educational references, not a diagnosis, treatment goal, or judgment of health. Consult a healthcare professional before pursuing weight change, especially during pregnancy or with an eating disorder or medical condition.
