How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the known values in the units shown. Results update as you type.
  2. Where results are editable, change one to solve backwards. Lock a value to hold it fixed.
  3. Use the worked example to check the method. Reset restores the starting fields.

Use the result with context

Health results are educational estimates, not a diagnosis or treatment recommendation. A qualified clinician can interpret measurements in the context of your health.

Formula and method

Hematocrit 36% and the editable numerical ratio 3 give hemoglobin 12 g/dL.

Ratio = hematocrit (%) / hemoglobin (g/dL).

Worked example

Enter these known values and leave the other values blank.

Hematocrit (%)
36 %
Hemoglobin (g/dL)
12 g/dL

Assumptions and limitations

  • The preset ratio of 3 is an approximate relationship, not a universal conversion. Use measured values to calculate the ratio; hematocrit is a percent number and hemoglobin is g/dL.
  • Use the displayed units and measurements from the same context. Editable fields support arithmetic inverses when enough independent values are supplied. Clear a preset value before solving it as an unknown.
  • This tool performs the stated arithmetic model. It does not establish a diagnosis, prescribe treatment or replace laboratory and clinical assessment.

Common questions

What does this calculation represent?

The preset ratio of 3 is an approximate relationship, not a universal conversion. Use measured values to calculate the ratio; hematocrit is a percent number and hemoglobin is g/dL.

Can I solve for a different field?

Clear the unknown field and enter enough independent values in the remaining editable controls. A relationship cannot recover a unique value when a dividing quantity is zero.
