Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) is a measure of the average size of red blood cells (RBCs) in a blood sample. It helps diagnose different types of anemia, such as microcytic (small RBCs) or macrocytic (large RBCs).
How to Calculate MCV
The formula for MCV is:
MCV (fL) =Using an MCV Calculator:
- Input the hematocrit (%) value.
- Enter the RBC count (million/μL).
- The calculator will compute the MCV in femtoliters (fL).

Normal MCV Range
- Normal: 80–100 fL (Healthy RBC size)
- Low (<80 fL): Microcytic anemia (e.g., iron deficiency)
- High (>100 fL): Macrocytic anemia (e.g., B12 deficiency)
An MCV calculator simplifies this process, ensuring quick and accurate results for medical assessments.
