Further generalization of the parallel axis theorem gives the inertia tensor about any set of orthogonal axes parallel to the reference set of axes x, y and z, associated with the reference inertia tensor, whether or not they pass through the center of mass.<ref name="Abdulghany"/> In this generalization, the inertia tensor can be moved from being reckoned about any reference point <math>\mathbf{R}_{ref}</math> to some final reference point <math>\mathbf{R}_F</math> via the relational matrix <math>M</math> as:
 
:<math> I_{F} = I_\mathrm{ref} + m(M[\mathbf{R},\mathbf{R}] - 2M[\mathbf{R},\mathbf{C}])</math>
 
where <math>\mathbf{C}</math> is the vector from the initial reference point to the object's center of mass and <math>\mathbf{R}</math> is the vector from the initial reference point to the final reference point (<math>\mathbf{R}_F = \mathbf{R}_{ref} + \mathbf{R}</math>). The relational matrix is given by
 
:<math> M[\mathbf{r},\mathbf{c}] = \left[\begin{array}{rrr}(r_y c_y + r_z c_z) & -1/2(r_x c_y + r_y c_x) & -1/2(r_x c_z + r_z c_x) \\
-1/2(r_x c_y + r_y c_x) & (r_x c_x + r_z c_z) & -1/2(r_y c_z + r_z c_y) \\
-1/2(r_x c_z + r_z c_x) & -1/2(r_y c_z + r_y c_z) & (r_x c_x + r_y c_y) \end{array}\right] </math>
