Calculate my BMI ↓Adjust the sliders to see your starting point.
Your BMI is calculated from your height and weight. It's a rough indicator of whether your weight is in a healthy range for your height — and a starting point for deciding whether prescription weight loss treatment may be appropriate.
ⓘ This indicator is for general information only. It doesn't diagnose, treat, or replace medical advice. Eligibility is confirmed by a Dutch BIG-registered doctor.
With a BMI above 27, you may qualify for prescription weight loss treatment if you have at least one weight-related condition.

BMI ranges are standard internationally. Where you fall determines which treatments are clinically appropriate.
Your BMI is below the healthy range. May indicate underlying issues — speak with your huisarts.
You're in the healthy weight range. Prescription weight loss treatment is not indicated.

BMI isn't the whole story.
BMI is a useful starting point — but it's a blunt instrument. It doesn't measure body composition, where you carry weight, or your overall metabolic health. A few things BMI gets wrong:
- Muscle mass — Athletes and people with high muscle mass often have BMIs in the "overweight" range despite low body fat.
- Body composition — Two people with the same BMI can have very different ratios of muscle to fat.
- Age — Older adults naturally lose muscle and gain fat — same BMI, different health implications.
- Ethnicity — People of South Asian descent often face metabolic risks at lower BMIs than Caucasian populations.
- Fat distribution — Visceral fat (around organs) carries far higher metabolic risk than subcutaneous fat — BMI sees neither.
That's why our doctors review your full medical history — not just your BMI — before deciding on treatment.
