Pregnancy due date calculator

Estimate your due date using Naegele's rule (LMP + 280 days).

Estimate, not a diagnosis. This tool gives an educational estimate based on the numbers you enter. It cannot account for your individual health history — consult a healthcare professional for anything clinical.

How this is calculated

We apply Naegele's rule: add 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last menstrual period, with a small adjustment if your average cycle differs from 28 days.

Outputs

  • Estimated due date
  • Current gestational age

Limitations

Ultrasound dating can be more accurate, especially if your LMP is uncertain. Use this estimate as a guide and confirm clinically.

Frequently asked questions

How is a due date calculated from my last period?

Using Naegele’s rule: 280 days (40 weeks) are added to the first day of your last menstrual period. A small adjustment is made if your average cycle length differs from the standard 28 days.

How accurate is a due date calculated this way?

Only about 5% of babies are born on their exact due date, and most arrive within about two weeks of it either way. Naegele’s rule is a standard estimate, and ultrasound dating in early pregnancy is generally more precise if your last period date is uncertain.

What if I have irregular cycles?

Naegele’s rule assumes a fairly regular 28-day cycle, so it becomes less reliable with irregular cycles. An early ultrasound is usually recommended for more accurate dating in that case.
