Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculation Formula To find your BMI, you only need to divide your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters.

BMI = WEIGHT / HEIGHT 2

The formula does not take into account a person's gender and age, despite the fact that men's BMI is higher than women's BMI, and BMI is also higher in middle-aged people, while in children and the elderly this indicator is lower.
