What's my BMI?

Find out if your BMI qualifies for a potential cost saving on your insurance

Health professionals commonly measure Body Mass Index (BMI) to assess whether patients are a healthy weight. It measures weight in relation to height to determine BMI category (NSW Health):

  • Underweight: BMI of less than 18.5

  • Normal weight: BMI of 18.5 to 24.9

  • Overweight: BMI of 25 to 29.9

  • Obese: BMI of 30 or higher

 

Insurers also use BMI as part of the application assessment. Some insurers even offer a lifetime discount on your insurance premiums, usually if your BMI is between 18.5 and 28.5 at application.​ Insurer BMI health categories are different from the above.

Use our BMI calculator to see how you measure.
