How to Calculate Total Fertility Rate Tfr

Total Fertility Rate (TFR) Calculator

The Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is a synthetic measure that indicates the average number of children a woman would have over her lifetime if she experienced the current age-specific fertility rates throughout her reproductive years (typically ages 15-49).

Your Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is:

Understanding TFR: A TFR of approximately 2.1 is considered the "replacement level" fertility, meaning that a population is stable and will neither grow nor shrink over the long term, assuming no migration. A TFR below 2.1 suggests a declining population, while a TFR above 2.1 suggests a growing population.
