Its very good Multiply your height by itself (height X height).

Divide your weight by the answer you get in the first step.
The equations for calculating the BMI are as follows:
International System of Units (SI)
BMI = weight (kg) ÷ (height (m))2
Example:
For a 177 cm (1.77 m) individual weighing 75 kg,
BMI = 75 / (1.77 * 1.77) = 75/ 3.13 = 23.96
Imperial System
BMI = weight (lb) ÷ (height (inches)) 2 × 703
Example:
For a 160-pound, 5’8” (68”) individual weighing 75 kg,
BMI = (160/ 68*68) * 703 = (160/4624) * 703 = 24.3
You can also use an online BMI calculator to find out your BMI and eliminate human errors.

How to calculate BMI
For adults over the age of 20 years, BMI values are grouped into the following weight status categories1:
BMI Weight status
Below 18.5 Underweight
18.5–24.9 Normal weight
25–29.9 Overweight
30–35 Obese
Over 35 Morbid obesity
The range remains the same for males and females. There is no separate BMI calculator for men and women.
BMI for Children
In children, body fat content changes with age. It is also normal for teenage girls to have more body fat than boys. BMI calculation for children follows the sameformula as adults. But the value is then plotted on standard gender-specific BMI-for-age percentile charts for children. It determines the child's weight status compared to children of the same gender and age.
For example, a 25th percentile BMI for a 6-year old female child would indicate that the child's weight is higher
