Max Heart Rate Calculator
Estimate your maximum heart rate from age so training zones stay easier to plan.
Why this calculator is useful
Maximum heart rate helps you set upper training boundaries and understand what a hard effort might look like for your age.
It is not perfect, but it is still a decent starting point for cardio planning and recovery awareness.
If you already use an Apple Watch or a workout app, this number can make your training summaries easier to interpret.

Max Heart Rate Calculator
What is my max heart rate?
These calculators provide practical estimates, not medical advice. Use them as a starting point, then adjust based on how you feel, your routine, and your goals.
How the calculation works
The calculator uses the simple 220 minus age estimate, which is easy to remember and quick to use.
If you want a more nuanced view, compare it with how your heart rate behaves during actual workouts.
Practical tips
- Use max heart rate as a rough estimate, not a permanent truth.
- Cross-check with workout feel and recovery.
- If you train often, keep notes on how your real data compares over time.
- Combine it with a recovery calculator when you want better zone context.
Recommended next step
Use the result for a few days, notice what feels hard, and make one small adjustment. That keeps the plan useful instead of turning it into another task you have to manage.
