Calculation of Total Fertility Rate

Total Fertility Rate (TFR) Calculator

The Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is a hypothetical measure representing the average number of children a woman would have if she experienced the current age-specific fertility rates throughout her reproductive years (typically considered ages 15-49). It is a key demographic indicator used to understand population growth and reproductive patterns.

Input Data: Age-Specific Fertility Rates (ASFRs)

Please enter the number of births per 1,000 women in each age group. If a particular age group is not applicable or has no recorded births, enter 0.
