BMI

Body mass index is weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. The calculator does that conversion for you from whatever units you have, shows the resulting figure and which of the standard World Health Organization categories it falls into, and shows the weight range that would correspond to the "normal" band for your height. That last figure is often the more useful one, because it turns an abstract index into something you can act on.

BMI is a population screening measure, not a diagnosis. It does not distinguish muscle from fat, it was calibrated on adults, and the thresholds are debated for some ethnic groups and for older people. The page says this plainly. It is a starting point for a conversation with a doctor, and a reasonable way to track your own trend over time, and nothing more.

TDEE

Total daily energy expenditure estimates how many calories you burn in a day: a basal metabolic rate from your age, sex, height and weight, multiplied by an activity factor. The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which performs best in comparisons against measured values, and shows the result for each activity level so you can see how much the choice of level moves the number — it moves it a lot, and most people overestimate their activity.

The output includes the maintenance figure and typical deficit and surplus targets. Treat these as a first estimate to adjust against what the scales actually do over a few weeks, which is the only measurement that matters.

Pregnancy dates

The due date calculator adds the standard 280 days to the first day of the last period, adjusted for cycle length, or 266 days to a known conception date, and shows how many weeks along today is, the trimester and the full-term window. The ovulation calculator places ovulation a luteal phase before the next expected period and marks the six-day fertile window, projected over the next six cycles. Both are calendar arithmetic; a dating scan and the people looking after the pregnancy have the final word.

Pets

The pet age calculator converts a dog's or cat's age to a rough human equivalent with the staged method vets use, fast for the first two years and size-dependent after, rather than multiplying by seven. The pet food calculator works out daily energy from weight and life stage with the standard 70 × kg^0.75 formula and converts it to cups or grams of the food on hand from the calories printed on the bag. Neither offers dietary or veterinary advice; they show the arithmetic the feeding guides and age charts are built on.

Where the formulas stop being reliable

Both tools state their limits on the page: BMI for children, athletes and the elderly; TDEE for anyone whose body composition is far from average. Neither replaces advice from a clinician who can see you.
