MCHC (g/dl)

About this calculator

Use this calculator for MCV (fL) = haematocrit% ÷ RBC × 10, MCH (pg) = haemoglobin ÷ RBC × 10, and MCHC (g/dl) = haemoglobin ÷ haematocrit% × 100. Enter haemoglobin in g/dl, haematocrit as a percent, and RBC in millions per microlitre. Mentzer (MCV/RBC) is a cousin you can do by hand from MCV. This is not a blood-film reading.

Haemoglobin: Haemoglobin, g/dl.

Haematocrit: Haematocrit percent.

RBC: Red-cell count in ×10⁶/µl.

MCV: Mean corpuscular volume, fL.

MCH: Mean corpuscular haemoglobin, pg.

MCHC: Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, g/dl.
