Heart Rate (BPM) Calculator

Calculate your current pulse and target training zones.

Step 1: Measure Your Pulse (Optional)
10 Seconds (Recommended) 15 Seconds 30 Seconds 60 Seconds (Full Minute)
Step 2: Personal Details (For Zones)
Current Heart Rate
Beats Per Minute (BPM)
Estimated Max Heart Rate
BPM (Based on Age)

Your Target Heart Rate Zones

Based on the Karvonen formula (if Resting HR provided) or Standard Max HR formula.

Zone Intensity Target Range (BPM) Benefit

How to Use This BPM Calculator

Understanding your heart rate is crucial for monitoring cardiovascular health and optimizing fitness training. This calculator serves two main functions: converting a short manual pulse count into a Beats Per Minute (BPM) reading, and calculating your target heart rate zones based on your age.

How to take your pulse manually: Place two fingers (index and middle) on your wrist (radial artery) or the side of your neck (carotid artery). Count the beats you feel for a specific timeframe (usually 10 or 15 seconds) and enter that number above.

Understanding Heart Rate Zones

Training at different intensities triggers different metabolic adaptations in your body. We calculate these zones using your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR). If you provide your Resting Heart Rate, we use the Karvonen Formula for higher accuracy, which accounts for your heart rate reserve.

  • Zone 1 (50-60%): Very light activity, warm-up, and recovery. Good for beginners.
  • Zone 2 (60-70%): Fat burning zone. The body becomes efficient at metabolizing fat. Ideal for endurance.
  • Zone 3 (70-80%): Aerobic zone. Improves cardiovascular system and stamina.
  • Zone 4 (80-90%): Anaerobic zone. Improves VO2 Max and lactic acid tolerance. Hard effort.
  • Zone 5 (90-100%): Maximum effort. Only sustainable for very short bursts. Increases power and speed.

Why Monitor Your Resting Heart Rate?

Your Resting Heart Rate (RHR) is a strong indicator of your overall fitness level. A normal RHR for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Highly trained athletes may see readings as low as 40 to 60 BPM. Tracking this over time can show improvements in cardiovascular efficiency or signal potential overtraining or illness.
