Ideal Body Weight (Devine)
Estimate ideal body weight from height using the Devine formula.
What this calculator does
This tool estimates ideal body weight (IBW) from your height using the Devine formula. IBW is a reference weight often used in clinical calculations, not a personal target.
What your result means
The result is an estimate in kilograms. It is used as a reference in medical settings (e.g. for some drug or fluid calculations). It does not define a “correct” weight for you; your provider can discuss what is appropriate for you.
This is not medical advice. A healthcare provider should interpret results in your context.
