BMI Calculator - Muscle and Brawn - Bodybuilding and Powerlifting
BMI isn't really that useful though. To be a healthy BMI, I would need to weigh in under 200, but at 215 I looked almost skeletal. It doesn't take into account muscle mass for those of us who lift. The mirror is a better gauge IMO.

You can use a number of websites to calculate it, I believe the formula is weight in kilos divided by (height in metres)squared.
Here would work. Calculate Your BMI - Standard BMI Calculator As has been stated however, BMI has long been known to be a useless and pointless statistic. It's something a doctor can quickly, inexpensively and impressively use to say to someone, "you have a BMI of X, you should work to bring it down to Y" without any actual tests. Unless you're looking into it for insurance purposes, you'd be better off obtaining some bodyfat measurement device, for example skinfold calipers.
