Due Date Calculator

Estimate your baby's due date and current pregnancy week using the first day of your last menstrual period. Free due date calculator.

A pregnancy due date calculator estimates your baby's expected arrival date using Naegele's rule — the standard method taught in obstetrics. Enter the number of days since the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), and optionally your average cycle length if it differs from the standard 28 days. The calculator then estimates how many days remain until the due date (based on a 280-day pregnancy adjusted for cycle length), your current pregnancy week, and which trimester you are in. Only about 5% of babies are born on their exact due date; a full-term window of 37–42 weeks is normal. This tool is intended for informational use — your doctor or midwife will refine the estimate using ultrasound measurements, especially in the first trimester. All calculations are private and run entirely in your browser.

When to use this calculator

  • Estimating a due date from the first day of the last menstrual period
  • Tracking which pregnancy week and trimester you are currently in
  • Adjusting the estimate for longer or shorter menstrual cycles
  • Planning prenatal appointments and milestones around the due date
  • Understanding how the 40-week pregnancy timeline maps to calendar dates

How the calculation works

This calculator uses Naegele's rule: due date = first day of LMP + 280 days (40 weeks), adjusted for cycle length. If the cycle is longer than 28 days (e.g. 32 days), the due date shifts forward by the extra days (32 − 28 = +4 days → 284 days total). Days until due = 280 + (cycle_length − 28) − lmp_days_ago. Current pregnancy week = lmp_days_ago / 7. Trimester: first (<84 days / 12 weeks), second (84–167 days / 12–24 weeks), third (≥168 days / 24+ weeks). For example, 70 days since LMP with a 28-day cycle: days until due = 280 + 0 − 70 = 210 days, week = 70/7 = 10 weeks, first trimester.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a due date calculated?
Most calculators use Naegele's rule: add 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last menstrual period. Only about 5% of babies arrive on the exact date.
How accurate are due dates?
Due dates are estimates with a normal full-term window of 37-42 weeks. Ultrasound in the first trimester can refine the estimate.
