BMI Calculator in Pounds and Feet: How It Works

BMI can be calculated using either metric or imperial measurements.

For pounds and inches, the formula is:

BMI = (weight in pounds × 703) ÷ height in inches²

If your height is given in feet and inches, convert the complete height into inches before using the formula.

For example, 5 feet 9 inches equals 69 inches.

The calculation then uses weight in pounds and total height in inches.

An online calculator makes this process easier because it handles the conversion and formula automatically.
