Ideal Weight for 6 Foot 2
At 6 ft 2 in (188 cm), a man's ideal weight runs about 76–86 kg (167–190 lb) and a woman's about 72–78 kg (159–171 lb). At tall heights the four formulas fan out — the spread is the story.
Find Your Ideal Weight
Required: the ideal-weight formulas use biological sex (male or female) as a variable, so the estimate can’t be calculated without it.
Age adjusts the healthy BMI reference range for adults 65+ (senior guidelines use BMI 23–28).
Enter your height in centimeters (e.g., 170 cm)
Valid range: 152–214 cm (approx. 5 ft – 7 ft)
The ±10% frame adjustment is applied to all four formulas. Clinical medication dosing uses the unadjusted medium-frame value.
Women (>165 cm): Small <15.9 cm · Medium 15.9–16.5 cm · Large >16.5 cm
Valid range: 10–30 cm

Quick Answer
Ideal Weight at 6 Foot 2
At 6 ft 2 in (188 cm), medium frame, a man's ideal weight is about 75.9–86.2 kg (167–190 lb) and a woman's about 72.1–77.7 kg (159–171 lb) across the four formulas. The ~10 kg male spread is the headline — read on for why.
Why the Four Formulas Fan Out at 6 Foot 2
Every ideal-weight formula starts from a base at 5 ft and adds a fixed weight for each inch above it. At 6 ft 2 that is 14 inches of increment — and because each formula uses a different per-inch figure, those small per-inch differences stack into a large gap. For a man, Miller (the shallowest slope) gives 75.9 kg, Robinson 78.6 kg, Devine 82.2 kg and Hamwi (the steepest) 86.2 kg, a spread of about 10 kg. The average is 80.7 kg (178 lb). For a woman the same effect is gentler: 72.1 to 77.7 kg, averaging 74.9 kg (165 lb). The lesson for tall people is that height-only formulas become blunt instruments as height rises — the disagreement is the information.
What to Do With a Wide Spread
When the formulas disagree by 10 kg, don't chase a single decimal. Take the average as an anchor and treat the healthy BMI weight range shown in the calculator as the target band — it is broad by design and better suited to tall frames. If you carry a lot of muscle, expect to sit at or above the top of these figures, and estimate your lean mass with the Lean Body Mass Calculator. To place any of these numbers on the standard weight scale, the BMI Calculator shows the band for your height, and the Ideal Weight Calculator handles any other stature.
