Our Age-Grade Calculator is designed to help runners of all levels measure their performance against global standards. By inputting your age, gender, and race time, you can see how you stack up against other runners.
All calculations are based on the World Masters Athletics tables. Visit their site for more details. All calculations rely strictly on the formulas and data provided by this source.
The age-grade percentage is calculated using the formula:
\( \text{Age-Grade} = \left( \frac{\text{Standard Time}}{\text{Your Time}} \right) \times 100 \)
Imagine a 30-year-old female runner who completes a 10K in 40 minutes. Using the standard time for her age and gender, the calculator determines her age-grade percentage, showing how she compares to the peak performance for her category.
