About this calculator

What is the BMR calculator – basal metabolism?

The BMR calculator (Basal Metabolic Rate) calculates the amount of energy your body uses at complete rest – just breathing, heart beating, and maintaining bodily functions. It is the basis for all calorie requirement calculations.

The calculator is completely free, works directly in your browser, and does not store personal information. All calculators on this site are based on up-to-date data.

Calculation principle

BMR (Mifflin-St Jeor, male) = 10×W + 6.25×H − 5×A + 5. For females: − 161 at the end.

Enter your measurements into the calculator fields and press the calculate button – the result will be displayed immediately. You can try different values to compare various scenarios.

Practical example

Male, 40 years old, 85 kg, 180 cm → BMR = 10×85 + 6.25×180 − 5×40 + 5 = 850 + 1125 − 200 + 5 = 1,780 kcal/day.

The result is an estimate – for precise clinical measurements, consult a healthcare professional.

Purpose of the calculator

The calculator is suitable for self-monitoring health, planning workouts, and general health literacy. Tracking values over time provides valuable information about changes in the body.

Remember that a single measurement result does not tell the whole story – what matters more is the direction and trend over multiple measurement periods.

Practical tips

  • BMR is just a starting number – multiply it by an activity factor to get your actual daily calorie needs.
  • A weight loss diet should not fall below BMR – it leads to muscle mass breakdown and a slowdown in metabolism.
  • Measure body composition for a more accurate BMR estimate.
