How We Calculate Results

BMR is first estimated with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation (10 × weight(kg) + 6.25 × height(cm) − 5 × age, +5 for men or −161 for women), then multiplied by an activity factor ranging from 1.2 (sedentary) to 1.9 (athlete) to estimate Total Daily Energy Expenditure — the calories you burn including movement and exercise.

The result is based on the inputs you provide and the assumptions described below. Learn more about how WIN Calculator develops and reviews its calculations.

Example

For example, try re-running the calculator with a slightly different weight, height, or activity level to see how sensitive your result is to small changes in your inputs.

Assumptions

  • Formulas are population-level averages developed for typical adults — they don't account for individual body composition, medical conditions, medications, or pregnancy unless the calculator is specifically designed for that case.
  • Inputs are taken at face value; the calculator can't verify your measurements or correct for measurement error.

Limitations

  • Formulas developed for general or athletic populations may be less accurate for children, older adults, pregnant people, or people with significant muscle mass or a diagnosed medical condition.
  • This is a general estimate, not a clinical measurement — lab tests, imaging, or an in-person exam from a qualified professional will always be more accurate for anything that matters medically.

Sources

  • Published formulas and reference ranges from recognized health authorities — including the CDC, WHO, NIH, and peer-reviewed clinical or exercise-science literature — see the formula above for the specific source this calculator uses.

Validation

  • Every formula in our calculator library is covered by an automated regression test suite that checks its output against known reference values before any code change ships.
  • Formulas are written from publicly documented sources — standards bodies, government agencies, or established textbooks — rather than derived from scratch, and are reviewed again whenever the underlying guidance changes.
