What is the formula for calculating the BMR when the body is at rest?

This is the number of calories the body will burn while doing nothing but breathing. It is based on weight, height, age, sex and a few other things. I found the BMI calculator on this site but can't find a BMR calculator. Does anyone know if there are any variables affecting the BMR number like percentage of body fat or how much you exercise when not at rest?
