Framingham Risk Score Calculator

Work out framingham risk score instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.

About Framingham Risk Score Calculator

Adds the sex-specific ATP III age points to the points you read off for cholesterol, HDL, blood pressure and smoking, then maps the total to the published 10-year coronary risk.

Formula

ATP III point sum

Total points = age points (sex-specific table) + cholesterol + HDL + systolic BP + smoking points; risk read from the published points-to-risk table

Worked example

With the default values below, Framingham Risk Score Calculator returns 10-year hard CHD risk of 16%. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 3 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to whole numbers, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
  • Educational estimate only. Not a substitute for professional clinical judgement, and must not be used to make treatment or dosing decisions.
  • This is an estimate for general information and not professional medical advice. See the full disclaimer for the limits that apply to this kind of calculator.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why enter the other points rather than the raw values?

Cholesterol and smoking points depend on age band lookups; entering the tabulated points keeps the arithmetic transparent and auditable.

What does the score predict?

The 10-year probability of hard coronary heart disease events in people without existing cardiovascular disease.
