Key Formulas

Data Sources & Methodology

BMI Calc Now uses the standard WHO Body Mass Index formula. All calculations are performed entirely client-side in the browser using JavaScript. No server-side computation, no database calls, no user tracking.

The WHO BMI classification thresholds used are from the World Health Organization Global Database on Body Mass Index. Blog content references peer-reviewed sources including WHO, CDC, and NIH publications.

Interaction Model & Privacy

  • All calculations are 100% client-side — no data leaves the browser
  • No user accounts, no authentication, no sign-up
  • No personal health data is stored, transmitted, or logged
  • No cookies set for calculator data
  • Third-party cookies from Google Analytics (anonymous usage) and Google AdSense (advertising) only
  • No server-side API — the OpenAPI spec exists for discovery purposes only
