Estimate due date from LMP or conception date.
Quick planning, rough comparisons, and checking whether your assumptions are in the right range before you rely on final quotes or advice.
Review the assumptions below, then compare with related calculators if your decision depends on rates, eligibility, or provider-specific rules.
How this calculator works
- LMP adds 280 days.
- Conception date adds 266 days.
- The result is an estimate, not a guarantee.
Worked example
An LMP-based estimate uses 40 weeks from the first day of the last period.
Important assumptions
- Cycle irregularity can shift the estimate.
- Ultrasound dating may differ from this result.
- Use clinical guidance for medical decisions.

How this calculation is produced
- This calculator uses the formula and assumptions defined for the page to turn your inputs into a practical planning estimate.
- Results are designed to be quick, transparent, and useful for first-pass decisions rather than provider-specific final quotes.
- The output should be treated as a directional estimate until you check the relevant rates, rules, or assumptions behind your case.
What to verify before relying on it
- Check that your units, assumptions, and scenario match the real decision you are trying to make.
- Compare the output with a second trusted source if the result affects money, health, or compliance.
- Use official provider, government, or expert information whenever the estimate needs to become a final decision.
When this tool is useful
- Use this for planning and tracking, not as a substitute for medical guidance.
- Use it early to set expectations around dates, feeding, or development ranges.
- Use it again as new information changes the assumptions behind the estimate.
How to read the result
- Treat the result as a likely range or guide rather than a guaranteed outcome.
- Pay attention to whether the result depends heavily on date accuracy or cycle regularity.
- If the estimate affects care decisions, confirm it with the relevant clinician or records.
Common mistakes
- Treating an approximate date or amount as exact.
- Using old or incomplete dates and assuming the output is still reliable.
- Ignoring professional advice when symptoms or special conditions are involved.
Good next steps
- Save the estimate and revisit it when new dates or measurements are available.
- Pair this result with a related pregnancy or baby calculator for more context.
- Use medical guidance for anything beyond planning, tracking, or education.
