RDI Percentage Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the RDI Percentage is:

$\text{RDIp} = \frac{\text{CI}}{\text{RI}} \times 100$

Where:

$\text{RDIp}$ is the RDI Percentage
$\text{CI}$ is the current intake (mg/day)
$\text{RI}$ is the recommended intake (mg/day)

What is RDI Percentage?

The RDI Percentage is a measure of how much of a nutrient you are consuming relative to the recommended daily intake. It helps to assess whether you are meeting, exceeding, or falling short of the recommended intake levels for various nutrients.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Current Intake (CI) = 500 mg/day
Recommended Intake (RI) = 1000 mg/day

Using the formula:

$\text{RDIp} = \frac{500}{1000} \times 100 = 50\%$

The RDI Percentage is 50%.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Current Intake (CI) = 800 mg/day
Recommended Intake (RI) = 1000 mg/day

Using the formula:

$\text{RDIp} = \frac{800}{1000} \times 100 = 80\%$

The RDI Percentage is 80%.
