[1], eq. (3.114), p. 135 (converted by Stan Zurek to be expressed by remanence flux density rather than saturation magnetisation
$$ H(x) = \frac{B_r}{π·µ_0}· \left( \text{atan} \frac{2·(x+L)·\sqrt{a^2+b^2+4·(x+L)^2}}{a·b} - \text{atan} \frac{2·x·\sqrt{a^2+b^2+4·x^2}}{a·b} \right) $$ (A/m)
where: $B_r$ - remanence (flux density) of the permanent magnet (T), $L$ - axial length of the cuboid magnet (m), $a$ and $b$ - lengths (m) of the sides of the cuboid magnet, $x$ - location (m) from the surface of the magnet (surface is synonymous with x = 0), μ0 - magnetic permeability of vacuum (H/m)

Notes: This is valid only for a uniformly magnetised cuboid magnet, for the field along its axis.1) The value of B(μ0) is for vacuum.
