Excess Weight Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Excess Weight (EW) is:

\[ EW = AW - IW \]

Where:

Excess Weight (EW): The amount of weight above the ideal weight, measured in pounds (lbs).
Actual Weight (AW): The current weight of the individual, measured in pounds (lbs).
Ideal Weight (IW): The target or ideal weight for the individual, measured in pounds (lbs).

Let's say the actual weight (AW) is 180 lbs and the ideal weight (IW) is 150 lbs. Using the formula:

\[ EW = 180 - 150 = 30 \text{ lbs} \]

So, the excess weight is 30 lbs.
