Effective dose is calculated as:
 
<math>
E = \sum\limits_T w_T \cdot [\frac{H_T^M + H_T^F}{2}]
</math>
 
where <math>H_T^M</math> and <math>H_F^M</math> are the equivalent doses to the tissues or organs <math>r_T</math> of the Reference Adult Male and the Reference Adult Female, respectively and <math>w_T</math> is the tissue weighting factor for target tissue T, with <math>\sum\limits_T w_T = 1</math>.
