Why Use Our Health Calculators
24 free health calculators that show the formula they use and where the numbers come from: CDC, NIH, WHO, ACOG, the National Academies and the 2024 Compendium of Physical Activities. Results are estimates to help you plan, not a diagnosis.
Every health calculator on this page follows official guidelines. The BMI calculator uses WHO classifications. The calorie and TDEE calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, the most validated formula for estimating metabolic rate. The pregnancy due date calculator uses standard 40-week gestational calculations confirmed by ACOG.
Use these tools together for a complete picture. Start with the BMI calculator for body composition context, then the calorie calculator for your daily energy needs, and the ideal weight calculator to set realistic goals.
All calculations run in your browser. No health data is ever stored or transmitted. Always consult a healthcare professional before making significant changes to diet or exercise.
