Understanding your body’s energy expenditure is crucial for making informed decisions about diet, exercise, and overall wellness. Our BMR Calculator for Women helps you estimate the calories your body needs while at rest, which is your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).

What Is BMR?
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories required to keep your body functioning while you are not doing any physical activities. It includes processes like breathing, blood circulation, and cell production.
Why BMR Matters?
- Helps define calorie needs for weight loss, maintenance, or gain.
- Essential for customizing diet plans.
- Supports effective fitness routines.
The BMR Formula
BMR = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) – (5 × age in years) – 161
How to Use This Calculator
Simply enter your age, height, weight, and gender. You can use the dropdowns to switch between units. After clicking the calculate button, you will receive your BMR results in seconds.
Convert BMR to TDEE
To get your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), multiply your BMR by an activity multiplier:
- Sedentary (little or no exercise): BMR × 1.2
- Lightly active (light exercise/sports 1–3 days/week): BMR × 1.375
- Moderately active (moderate exercise/sports 3–5 days/week): BMR × 1.55
- Very active (hard exercise/sports 6–7 days/week): BMR × 1.725
- Extra active (very hard exercise, physical job, or training): BMR × 1.9
Scientific Basis
Our calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation, which is considered the most accurate for estimating BMR:
For Men: BMR = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) – (5 × age in years) + 5
For Women: BMR = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) – (5 × age in years) – 161
