Weight Loss Calculators: BMI, TDEE, Macros, Timeline, WHR, Body Fat, and Ideal Weight

Seven free, browser-based weight-loss calculators in one place. Start with BMI to see where your current weight sits, use TDEE to set a sensible daily calorie target, split that target into protein, carb, and fat grams with the macro tool, project a realistic timeline to your goal weight, layer on the waist-to-hip ratio calculator to see how fat distribution adds a cardiometabolic-risk signal on top of BMI, run the U.S. Navy tape-method body-fat calculator for a composition readout, and use the ideal weight calculator to compare the four historical clinical formulas (Hamwi, Devine, Robinson, Miller) against the healthy BMI range at your height. Every tool runs in your browser — nothing is saved, nothing is sent anywhere.

How to use them together

  1. Start with BMI to see whether your current weight sits in the WHO healthy range for your height and to set a realistic goal weight.
  2. Run the TDEE calculator to estimate how many calories you burn on a normal day, then subtract 300–500 kcal for a beginner-safe deficit.
  3. Split that target with the macro calculator so you know how many grams of protein, carbs, and fat to aim for — protein is the one that matters most for preserving muscle while you lose.
  4. Project the finish line with the timeline calculator so you know roughly how many weeks the plan will take and what a realistic weekly rate looks like.
  5. Layer on WHR to check where you carry the weight, not just how much of it there is — waist-to-hip ratio adds a fat-distribution signal that BMI misses.
  6. Add the body-fat calculator for a composition readout the scale cannot give you — the U.S. Navy tape method uses a fabric tape and your height to estimate body-fat percentage and, with your weight, fat mass and lean mass in pounds or kilograms.
  7. Compare the ideal weight calculator against the healthy BMI range for context — the four historical clinical formulas (Hamwi 1964, Devine 1974, Robinson 1983, Miller 1983) sit alongside the 18.5–24.9 BMI band so you can see how a single-number "ideal weight" fits inside the range modern clinical guidelines actually use.
