Calculate Body Surface Area

The Mosteller equation is widely used for a simple BSA estimate from height and weight.

Formula: Mosteller: BSA (m²) = √[(height(cm) × weight(kg)) ÷ 3600]

Use the same units and measurement method expected by the calculator. Results from body measurements, activity levels, or health formulas are estimates and can vary when the underlying inputs or method changes.

Repeat the calculation with the same measurements and method, then compare the result with the displayed formula. Treat the result as an estimate where applicable.
