Where can I see exactly how many rads I have?
Basically, I don't want to waste any RadAway if, for example, it will remove 300 rads and I only have 150. Especially if I'm low on RadAway and/or not near a doctor.
In Fallout 3/New Vegas, I'm used to seeing some number on my Stats page of the pip boy (from what I remember, maybe it was somewhere else exactly). Did Fallout 4 completely remove the exact number and I just have to guess based on my health bar? Or am I missing some other location that will tell me how much I have?

Actually it is rather complicated. Each person's health is different so you need to calculate it. First pick up a lot of Rads. At least half is your health. Then take a radaway. You know a radaway cures 300 rads. So you need to see what percentage that heals by fully healing yourself. And calculating the ratio for your health level. Example I have 365 health. For me radaway only cleared 30% of my health which was 110 health. Once you have that ratio then you can calculate your tags at any time with that given health. When you level you will have a different ratio.

How do you check your radiation level in Fallout 1?
The character has a hidden radiation ("Rad") count that can be checked with a Geiger counter. This rad count causes the effect "radiated" to appear. As the Geiger count increases, further radiation poisoning occurs.What do rads do in New Vegas?

Answer 2
Try upgrading your Medic perk, a fully maxed out medic perk restores all health from stimpacks and all radiation from radaways. For an easier way to check your rads, go onto a power armour because once you're inside the power armour, a different GUI/HUD will appear showing you the percentage of your health instead of a green bar. Now you can check how many rads you've got. If your radaways eliminates 30% of the rads then it'll how that it deducted 30% on your rads on the health meter.
Answer 3
If you open your pip-boy, there will be a meter on the right-hand side. You can also get a brief idea if you look at your HP bar, there is a small percentage of the bar which is red. It shows up here because the more rads you have gained, the less health you have overall. I hope that helped :D
