Hey guys is there a site that calculates what weight range you should have according to your height or if there’s an algorithm that calculates it so I can implement it in a small coding project?

There are many charts out there on the internet.

But I wouldn't rely on that because the ideal range is subjective and constantly varying by according to most normies.

There isn't an ideal weight
Theres an ideal bodyfat range

Even that's flawed.
It's exactly what he asked for:
"site that calculates what weight range you should have according to your height or if there’s an algorithm that calculates it"

Ik, but it's not accurate, that's what i'm trying to say.

True they are far from accurate. I tried one for maintenance calories and it said I can only consume 1600 calories jfl

Well u gotta think about this, what bodyfat do you want to use in your calculator. Also you gotta take in bone mass and height obviously. You should use things like wrist or ankle circumference.
 
no man, higher weight + lower bf% regardless of height is what everyone should strive for

Well I was looking more for the algorithm it uses tbf
Devine:
Formulas for Finding the Ideal Weight
IBW formulas were developed mainly to facilitate drug dosage calculations. All of the formulas, have the same format of a base weight given a height of 5 feet, with a set weight increment added per inch over the height of 5 feet. For example, if you are a 5'10" male estimating your ideal weight with the Devine formula, you would add (2.3 × 10) kg to 50 kg to get 73 kg, or ~161 lbs.

The formulas differ in the values used based on the research of the scientists involved in their development, and their findings. The Devine formula is the most widely used formula for the measurement of IBW.

G. J. Hamwi Formula (1964)

Male:48.0 kg + 2.7 kg per inch over 5 feet
Female:45.5 kg + 2.2 kg per inch over 5 feet
Invented for medicinal dosage purposes.

B. J. Devine Formula (1974)

Male:50.0 kg + 2.3 kg per inch over 5 feet
Female:45.5 kg + 2.3 kg per inch over 5 feet
Similar to the Hamwi Formula, it was originally intended as a basis for medicinal dosages based on weight and height. Over time, the formula became a universal determinant of IBW.

J. D. Robinson Formula (1983)

Male:52 kg + 1.9 kg per inch over 5 feet
Female:49 kg + 1.7 kg per inch over 5 feet
Modification of the Devine Formula.

D. R. Miller Formula (1983)

Male:56.2 kg + 1.41 kg per inch over 5 feet
Female:53.1 kg + 1.36 kg per inch over 5 feet
Modification of the Devine Formula.
 
This one is where you enter your height, wrist circumference, ankle circumference and goal bodyfat percentage. Then it gives you you maximum natty weight and body measurements, so within 10% of that weight. So me at 77in, 8in wrist and 12in ankle at 10% bodyfat is 260lbs so my ideal is 240lbs-260lbs
