You’re in the right place if you're wondering when your next period will start? Our Period Calculator helps you predict your upcoming menstrual cycle dates so you can plan ahead with confidence. Whether you're preparing for a vacation, managing fertility, or just staying in tune with your body, this simple tool can make a big difference.

How Does This Calculator Work?

The Period Calculator estimates your next period based on the start date of your last period and the average length of your cycle. Most people have a cycle between 21 to 35 days, with an avrage of 28 days.

Just enter:

  • The first day of your last period
  • Your usual cycle length (in days)

The calculator will instantly show you:

  • Your next expected period
  • Your fertile window
  • Your ovulation day

It’s that easy!

Why Use This Period Calculator?

Keeping track of your menstrual cycle can help you:

  • Plan your schedule (no surprises during that beach trip!)
  • Understand your body’s natural rhythm
  • Track symptoms like cramps, mood swings, or fatigue
  • Monitor irregular cycles or changes in timing
  • Prepare for pregnancy or practice natural birth control

Whether your period is like clockwork or a bit unpredictable, tracking it over time helps spot patterns or issues you might want to discuss with a healthcare provider.

Fertility and Ovulation Predictions

In addition to period tracking, our calculator provides a fertility forecast. If you're trying to conceive, it highlights your most fertile days based on the typical ovulation window — usually 14 days before your next period.

Keep in mind that this is a general estimate. Ovulation can vary, especially if your cycle is irregular. For more precise tracking, consider using ovulation test kits or fertility apps alongside this tool.

Regular vs. Irregular Cycles

If your periods aren’t perfectly regular, don’t worry — that’s common! Many people experience slight fluctuations. Our calculator still provides a useful estimate based on your average cycle length. Tracking a few months in a row helps you get more accurate predictions over time.

For very irregular periods, or if you’re missing periods altogether, it’s a good idea to check in with a doctor to rule out underlying conditions like PCOS or hormonal imbalances.

❓ How accurate is this Period Calculator?

This calculator gives an estimate based on the information you enter — mainly the start date of your last period and your average cycle length. It works best if your cycles are regular. Keep in mind that stress, travel, medications, and health conditions can cause natural variations.

❓ What is the average cycle length?

A typical menstrual cycle is between 21 and 35 days, with the average being 28 days. Your cycle length is counted from the first day of your last period to the day before your next period starts.

❓ Can this calculator help me get pregnant?

Yes! The calculator also shows your fertile window and ovulation day, which are the most likely times to conceive. While it can be a useful guide, combining it with other methods (like ovulation tests or tracking basal body temperature) may give better results if you're actively trying to conceive.

❓ Can I use this calculator for natural birth control?

While the calculator can help identify your fertile days, it’s not recommended as the only method for birth control. Fertility awareness requires careful tracking and understanding of your unique cycle. Talk to your doctor about safe options if you're looking for natural contraception methods.

❓ What if my cycle is irregular?

If your cycle length changes from month to month, the calculator will give you an approximate prediction based on your average cycle length. For best results, track several months and use the average. If your cycles are highly irregular, consider consulting a healthcare provider.

❓ How do I calculate my average cycle length?

Track the first day of your period for several months. Count the number of days between the start of one period and the start of the next. Add them together and divide by the number of cycles tracked to find your average.

❓ Is my data stored?

No — this calculator is completely private. We do not store any of your data. Everything stays in your browser session unless you choose to save it.
