4 WAYS to Calculate Your Body Mass Index (BMI)

1. Take your height in meters and square the number. You will need to multiply your height in
meters by itself first. For example, if you are 1.75 meters tall, then you would multiply 1.75 by
1.75 and get a result of approximately 3.06

2. Divide your weight in kilograms by meters squared. Next, you will need to divide your weight in
kilograms by your height in meters squared. For example, if your weight is 75 kilograms and
your height in meters squared is 3.06, then you would divide 75 by 3.06 for an answer of 24.5 as
your BMI.
3. Use an extended equation if your height is in centimeters. You can still calculate your BMI if your
height is in centimeters, but you will need to use a slightly different equation to do so. This
equation is your weight in kilograms divided by your height in centimeters, then divided again by
your height in centimeters, and then multiplied by 10,000.
