Formula

Devine: 50 kg + 2.3 kg per inch over 5 ft (men); 45.5 + 2.3 per inch over (women)

Example

A 175 cm (5'9") male gets estimates from roughly 63 kg (Robinson) to 71 kg (Devine).

Why four different answers

Each formula was designed for a different purpose (drug dosing, insurance tables) so they disagree by several kilograms. Treat the spread as a range rather than a single target, and weigh it against body composition and how you feel.

Frequently asked questions

Is there one ideal weight?

No — healthy weight is a range influenced by muscle mass, bone structure and health markers, not a single number.
