Pregnancy Calculators

Nine clinical calculators — due date, ovulation, scan timing, NIPT eligibility and more. Built by our sonographer team. Free, instant, and paired with a real scan when you need one.

Scans from 6 weeks

Pregnancy calculators estimate your due date, gestational week, ovulation window, ideal scan timing and other key dates from the information you already have — your last period, cycle length, conception date, or an IVF transfer date. This page brings all of them together in one place, each one answering a single, specific question.

If you're reading this, you probably want an answer quickly. You may be early in pregnancy and trying to work out how far along you are. You may be wondering whether it's too soon to book a scan, or too late for NIPT. You may have an irregular cycle and not trust the number a period-tracking app gave you. Whatever brought you here, you're looking for clarity — not a lecture.

IUS London is a specialist private ultrasound clinic in Kensington, two minutes from Notting Hill Gate. Every calculator on this site was built by our sonographer team to pair with a clinical scan, not replace one. We'll give you an answer now, and we're here if you want to confirm it on the screen.

Not sure which scan you need?

The IUS Scan Advisor asks a few questions and recommends the right scan based on your gestation, symptoms, and reason for scanning. Under a minute, with a direct booking link.

Understanding the tools

What is a pregnancy calculator?

A pregnancy calculator applies a standard clinical formula to the dates or measurements you provide. The most common, Naegele's rule, adds 280 days to the first day of your last menstrual period to estimate your due date. Other calculators use conception date, embryo transfer date, ultrasound measurements, or hormone levels.

What a calculator does well

  • Gives a reasonable first estimate of gestational age and due date
  • Identifies the right window for booking a scan or NIPT
  • Helps you plan around key pregnancy milestones
  • Works instantly, any time, without a referral

What a calculator cannot do

  • Replace an ultrasound measurement of the baby
  • Account for irregular cycles or uncertain dates
  • Confirm viability or detect complications
  • Match the accuracy of a dating scan (±3–5 days)

A due date based on your last period is accurate to within about a week at best, and only when your cycles are regular. NICE guideline NG201 recommends ultrasound dating as the clinical standard.

Clinical precision

How accurate are pregnancy calculator results?

Accuracy depends on what you put in and what the calculator is doing with it. The table below shows how each dating method compares — and why the earlier the scan, the tighter the window.

Dating method Accuracy window Reliability Notes
IVF embryo transfer date ± 1 day Highest Conception date is known exactly
Dating scan (7–13 weeks) ± 3–5 days Very high Measures crown-rump length directly; NICE-recommended standard
LMP — regular cycle ± 7 days Moderate Assumes 28-day cycle, ovulation on day 14
LMP — irregular cycle ± 2+ weeks Low Estimate drifts when cycle length varies; scan recommended
Dating scan (after 14 weeks) ± 1–2 weeks Moderate Babies vary more in size after 14 weeks; earlier is better

Between weeks 7 and 13, a sonographer measures the crown-rump length and calculates gestational age directly from that measurement. This is the method both NICE and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists recommend for confirming dates.

Know when to act

When you need a scan, not a calculator

A calculator is a starting point. These situations call for a scan — and the sooner the better.

Both are available same-week at our Kensington clinic.

  • Your cycles are irregular, unusually long, or unusually short
  • You don't remember your last period confidently
  • You conceived while on hormonal contraception
  • You had IVF or assisted conception and want viability confirmed
  • You've had bleeding, cramping, or pain in early pregnancy
  • A previous scan was inconclusive and you're due a follow-up
  • You're past your estimated due date and haven't had a recent review

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

A due date calculator using an IVF embryo transfer date is the most accurate, because conception is known precisely. For natural conception, any LMP-based calculator is accurate to within about a week when cycles are regular. For the most precise answer, a dating scan between 7 and 13 weeks supersedes any calculator.
Not reliably. LMP-based calculators assume a 28-day cycle with ovulation on day 14. If your cycles are irregular or significantly longer or shorter than this, the estimate can be off by a week or more. An early dating scan is the right way to resolve it.
Yes — use the embryo transfer date as the input. Because the date of fertilisation is known, the estimate is usually accurate to within a day or two.
Between weeks 7 and 13, a dating scan measures the baby directly and is accurate to within three to five days. This is more precise than any LMP-based calculator, including the one on this site.
Most calculators require an LMP or a conception-related date. If you have neither, a dating scan is the only way to establish gestational age. At IUS London you can book one without needing to know your dates in advance — the sonographer will work out the gestation from the scan itself.
