The moment of inertia of a body about any axis is equal to the sum of the moment of inertia of the body about a parallel axis passing through its centre of mass and the product of its mass and square of the distance between the two parallel axes.
Mathematically, $$I = {I_{COM}} + M{d^2}$$
where,
${I_{COM}}$: Moment of inertia about an axis passing through centre of mass (COM) and parallel to an axis of $I$
$I$: Moment of inertia about any given axis
$d$: Perpendicular distance between the two parallel axes
$M$: Mass of the rigid body
