BMI Percentile Calculator for Child and Teen

This calculator provides body mass index (BMI) and the corresponding BMI-for-age percentile based on CDC growth charts for children and teens ages 2 through 19 years. This calculator is not meant to serve as a source of clinical guidance and is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice.

Because of possible rounding errors in age, weight, and height, the results from this calculator may differ slightly from BMI-for-age percentiles calculated by other programs. To calculate the correct BMI and BMI-for-age percentile, it is important to measure height and weight accurately.

For people 20 years old and older, use the Adult BMI Calculator.
