Synopsis
This information provides printable testosterone level charts by age for both men and women, covering total, free, and bioavailable testosterone alongside a plain explanation of the blood tests used to measure each form. It is useful for patients, caregivers, seniors, and people with disabilities who want a clear reference they can print and bring to a medical appointment, since the material distinguishes a total testosterone test, which captures both free hormone and the portion bound to proteins, from a bioavailable test, which measures free hormone plus the amount loosely attached to albumin, and a free testosterone test, which reads only the active form. The charts matter because testosterone naturally shifts with age and because reference ranges differ by sex, so having age-specific figures in one place makes it easier to understand lab results and discuss them with a clinician. Presented as straightforward charts with step-by-step printing instructions for Mac, Windows, and Linux, the resource is built for practical accessibility rather than dense reading.
At a Glance
- 1 - A free testosterone test measures only the active form of the hormone.
- 2 - Three separate charts are provided, covering total, bioavailable, and free testosterone.
- 3 - A bioavailable testosterone test measures free hormone plus the portion loosely bound to albumin.
- 4 - The charts can be printed from any browser using File then Print, or the keyboard shortcuts Command-p on Mac and Ctrl-p on Windows and Linux.
Topic Definition
- Testosterone Level Chart
A Testosterone Level Chart is a reference table that sets out the expected ranges of the hormone testosterone across different ages and for each sex, giving patients and clinicians a quick way to compare an individual blood test result against typical values. Because testosterone circulates in more than one form, these charts are usually grouped by the type of measurement involved: total testosterone, which counts both the free hormone and the share bound to proteins in the blood; bioavailable testosterone, which counts the free hormone plus the amount loosely attached to albumin; and free testosterone, which reflects only the active, unbound hormone available to the body's tissues. Since normal ranges naturally change with age and differ between men and women, an age-based chart helps put a single lab number in context rather than judging it against a one-size-fits-all figure. Used well, such a chart supports a conversation with a healthcare provider about symptoms, aging, or treatment, but it is a guide for understanding results rather than a substitute for professional diagnosis.
Overview
Our printable charts below form part of our normal testosterone levels for males and females page.
Types of blood tests used to measure different forms of testosterone include:
- Total testosterone test: Measures free testosterone and testosterone that's attached to proteins.
- Bioavailable testosterone test: Measures free testosterone and testosterone that's loosely attached to a blood protein called albumin.
- Free testosterone test: Measures only the active form of testosterone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered a normal testosterone level for an adult man
Normal ranges vary by age and by the laboratory performing the test, so a result should always be compared against the reference range printed on the lab report and reviewed with a clinician.
Why do women need a testosterone chart too
Women produce testosterone in smaller amounts that still affect energy, mood, and reproductive health, so sex-specific ranges help interpret their results accurately.
What time of day should testosterone be tested
Testosterone typically peaks in the morning, so blood samples are often collected in the early hours to give the most consistent and comparable readings.
What symptoms might prompt a testosterone test
Fatigue, low libido, mood changes, loss of muscle mass, and irregular menstrual cycles are among the signs that can lead a clinician to order testosterone testing.
Can medications or health conditions affect testosterone results
Yes, factors such as certain medications, obesity, thyroid disorders, and acute illness can raise or lower readings, which is why context matters when interpreting a chart.
What units are testosterone levels usually reported in
Results are commonly reported in nanograms per deciliter or nanomoles per liter, so it helps to confirm the unit before comparing a value against any chart.
How often should testosterone levels be checked
Testing frequency depends on symptoms and whether a person is undergoing treatment, so the interval should be decided together with a healthcare provider.
Insights, Analysis, and Developments
Editorial Note: What gives this page its everyday value is the way it turns a confusing set of lab terms into something a person can actually hold in their hand and take to a doctor, which is no small thing for older adults and people managing chronic conditions who are already juggling paperwork. Testosterone is not a single number but several related measures, and knowing which test was ordered - total, free, or bioavailable - changes how a result should be read, so having all three charts side by side helps prevent the common mistake of comparing a figure against the wrong range. The resource sits within a broader reference on normal testosterone levels, meaning the charts are a starting point for a conversation with a qualified clinician rather than a diagnostic tool on their own, and readers are best served treating any out-of-range figure as a prompt to seek professional interpretation rather than a conclusion in itself.
