About this tool
This page opens the ideal weight calculator preset for men, so the four classic formulas — Devine, Robinson, Miller and Hamwi — compute their male-specific coefficients as soon as you type in your height. Each equation was fitted separately to male and female reference bodies, and the male versions consistently start from a higher base weight at 5 feet and add more per inch above it, which is why running the numbers with the correct sex selected matters.
Men's average frame carries more skeletal mass and lean tissue than women's at the same height, which is the main reason these formulas diverge by sex in the first place — not a claim about any one man's ideal shape. That divergence is largest for taller heights, where a few centimeters can shift the four estimates by several kilograms, so the side-by-side comparison here is more informative than picking a single formula.
Enter your height in centimeters and the calculator returns Devine, Robinson, Miller and Hamwi results together with the healthy BMI weight range for that height, so you can see whether the classic formulas and the WHO's BMI band agree. Muscular or athletic men routinely sit above every formula's output while still being perfectly healthy, so treat the numbers as a reference corridor for a conversation with a doctor or trainer, not a target to hit.
Example. A height of 177.8 cm for male sex returns a Devine weight of 73.0 kg.
Limit. Height must be from 100 cm to 250 cm, and the four formulas are omitted when the height is under 5 feet.
