Four calculators. Your inputs, right here.

Every result includes the formula's assumptions and where it falls short. These are educational estimates, not medical assessments.

Heart Rate Reserve

Karvonen method — estimates training zones from your heart rate reserve rather than max heart rate alone.

Result

Enter your details and calculate to see your estimated target zone.

Assumptions & limitations

  • Max HR is estimated as 220 minus age, a population average with wide individual variation.
  • Not adjusted for medication, cardiovascular conditions, or fitness level.
  • Consult a clinician before starting a new exercise intensity.

Hydration Target

A general baseline fluid estimate adjusted for activity and climate.

Result

Enter your details and calculate to see a suggested daily target.

Assumptions & limitations

  • Baseline of roughly 33ml per kg of body weight, a common general guideline.
  • Doesn't account for medical fluid restrictions or kidney, heart, or thyroid conditions.
  • Fluid from food and other beverages also contributes to daily intake.

BMI / BMR

Body mass index and estimated resting energy expenditure (Mifflin-St Jeor).

Result

Enter your details and calculate to see your BMI and estimated BMR.

Assumptions & limitations

  • BMI does not distinguish muscle from fat mass or account for frame size.
  • BMR estimates resting needs only, before activity is added.
  • Not valid during pregnancy or for children.

Sleep Architecture

Back-plans a bedtime using full 90-minute sleep cycles ending near your wake time.

Result

Choose a wake time and calculate to see a suggested bedtime.

Assumptions & limitations

  • Assumes an average 90-minute cycle length; actual cycles vary by person and night.
  • Does not account for sleep disorders, shift work, or medication effects.
  • A scheduling guide, not a diagnostic sleep assessment.
