You have to look at the RMR number as a general basis, then look at the activity factor that best suits you (1.2, 1.5, etc.). This number is to maintain the weight that you used to calculate the number. So, from here, you deduct the calories you need for weight loss.
Personally, I just use that as a real basic guide. I found it far easier to spend a few minutes and calculate the calories burned each day, doing the activities that typically consume my day.
