Percentile Overview

Clinical Summary

Based on WHO Child Growth Standards

Check if your child is growing well for their age and sex

Enter your child’s height and weight to see their growth percentile against WHO standards, and understand what the result means. Built for children aged 2 to 10 years.

What your child's percentile means

A percentile compares your child to other children of the same age and sex. The 50th percentile is simply the middle, not a target. Here is how to read each band. None of these is a diagnosis on its own.

Below 3rd

Smaller than most children of the same age. Often still healthy, but worth discussing with a doctor.

3rd to 15th

On the lower side of typical. Usually fine if growth is steady over time.

15th to 85th

The broad middle, where most children sit. Keep up regular monitoring.

85th to 97th

On the higher side of typical. Usually fine, with balanced nutrition and activity.

Above 97th

Larger than most children of the same age. Worth a check if the rise is rapid.

What is a normal height and weight for my child's age?

The figures below are approximate average (around the 50th percentile) heights and weights for children aged 2 to 10, based on WHO growth data. Boys and girls are close at younger ages and differ a little more as they grow. Treat these as a rough guide. Your child being a little above or below is common and is not a problem on its own.

Age	Approx. average height	Approx. average weight
2 years	85 to 87 cm	12 to 13 kg
3 years	94 to 96 cm	14 to 15 kg
4 years	101 to 103 cm	16 to 17 kg
5 years	108 to 110 cm	18 to 19 kg
6 years	114 to 116 cm	20 to 21 kg
7 years	120 to 122 cm	22 to 24 kg
8 years	126 to 128 cm	25 to 27 kg
9 years	132 to 134 cm	28 to 30 kg
10 years	137 to 139 cm	31 to 34 kg

What should you do next?

What matters most is not a single number but the pattern over time. Here is the simple version, based on where your child falls.

In the healthy range

Your child is growing within the typical range. Keep up regular monitoring and a balanced diet, and re-check in a few months to see the trend.

On the lower side

A single reading is not a diagnosis. If your child is consistently low or the percentile is dropping, a doctor can check for any nutritional or medical cause.

Talk to our team

On the higher side

Often fine. Focus on balanced nutrition and daily activity, and check with a doctor if the rise has been rapid or out of line with earlier readings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a normal weight for my child's age?

There is no single normal weight. A healthy weight sits within a wide range for each age and sex. This tool shows your child’s weight as a percentile compared to other children of the same age, which is more useful than a single target number.

Is the 50th percentile the ideal for my child?

No. The 50th percentile is just the middle of the range, not a goal. A child on the 20th or 80th percentile can be perfectly healthy. What matters more is that your child grows steadily along their own line over time.

My child is on a low percentile. Should I worry?

Not necessarily. Many healthy children sit on lower percentiles, especially if they have always tracked there. It is more of a concern if the percentile is dropping over time or your child is not gaining weight. If you are unsure, speak to a doctor.

Which growth standard does this tool use?

It uses the WHO child growth standards, which Indian paediatricians commonly use for young children. Percentiles tell you how your child compares to a healthy reference population of the same age and sex.

How often should I check my child's growth?

For most children, a check every few months is enough, along with their routine health visits. Tracking the trend over time is far more useful than a single measurement.

Can this tool diagnose a growth problem?

No. It is an information tool, not a diagnosis. Only a doctor can assess your child properly, taking into account their full history and a series of measurements over time.
