Formula & Methodology

💡

Did you know? The Naegele rule behind nearly every due date calculator dates from 1812 and simply adds 280 days to the first day of the last menstrual period. Only about 4% of babies arrive on that exact date, which is why clinicians treat it as the middle of a range.

Frequently Asked Questions

The standard method adds 280 days to the first day of your last menstrual period, assuming a 28-day cycle. The Pregnancy Due Date Calculator adjusts for a different cycle length, and an early ultrasound remains the more accurate estimate.

Roughly 4% of births happen on the estimated date. Most arrive within two weeks either side of it, so treat the date as the centre of a window rather than an appointment.

Most US states use either an income shares model or a percentage of obligor income, adjusted for custody nights, health insurance and childcare. The Child Support Calculator estimates a figure, but the court order is what binds.

The fertile window is roughly the five days before ovulation plus the day of ovulation itself. The Ovulation Calculator estimates it from your cycle length and last period.
