Target Heart Rate Calculator

Result

How It Works

Estimate maximum and target heart-rate zones using age and an intensity percentage. Use Target Heart Rate Calculator as a general estimate from the measurements and assumptions you enter.

The result is most useful when the inputs match the definitions used by this calculator. For this tool, the underlying method is: Max HR ≈ 220 − Age; Target = Max HR × Intensity. Compare the output with the worked example, then change one meaningful input at a time to see how the result responds.

Understanding Target Heart Rate

Target Heart Rate is a general health or fitness estimate based on the measurements and assumptions requested by the calculator. Health estimates are not diagnoses and can differ from an individual's actual needs or measurements. Review the target heart rate inputs and units before relying on the result.

When to Use This Calculator

Use Target Heart Rate Calculator as a general estimate from the measurements and assumptions you enter.

Practical tip: For this Target Heart Rate Calculator, use the result as a starting estimate and change one measurement or activity assumption at a time so you can see how sensitive the estimate is.

Formula

Max HR ≈ 220 − Age; Target = Max HR × Intensity

Example

For age 30, estimated max heart rate is 190 bpm.

Frequently Asked Questions

The calculator applies the method shown on the page to the health or fitness inputs you provide. It is an estimate, not a measurement of every aspect of an individual’s health.
Yes. Formulas simplify complex individual factors, so the same calculated value does not necessarily imply the same needs or health status.
Use it as a general informational estimate and consider the assumptions behind the formula. For medical concerns or personal treatment decisions, appropriate professional guidance is more reliable than a calculator alone.
