About this calculator

Overview

This heart-rate zone calculator estimates training-zone bounds from age and/or resting heart rate using common percentage-of-max formulas.

When to use

Use it to sketch easy/tempo/hard intensity bands for aerobic training education—not for diagnosing cardiac conditions.

Inputs explained

  • Age (years) [required]
  • Resting Heart Rate (bpm) [optional]

Formula / method

Max HR = 220 - Age | Zones = Resting HR + (HR Reserve × Zone %) — Heart rate zones calculated using Karvonen method with HR reserve

Worked example

Example: Calculate heart rate zones for age 30 with resting HR 65 (inputs age = 30, restingHeartRate = 65; outputs maxHeartRate = 190).

Interpreting results

Zones are population heuristics. Medication, fitness, and measurement method can shift true intensity.

Assumptions

  • Max-HR estimate follows the formula used by this calculator.
  • You enter accurate age and resting HR when requested.

Limitations

  • Not a medical clearance or arrhythmia assessment.
  • Stop and seek care for chest pain, dizziness, or abnormal symptoms during exercise.

Important note

Informational and educational only. Not medical advice, diagnosis, or a substitute for clinical care. Consult a qualified clinician for health decisions.
