How to read the result
- What it means
- The displayed value is an estimate based on your inputs. It represents the calculated scenario under current assumptions, not a guaranteed amount.
- Next step
- Use the result as a starting point. Adjust parameters to compare scenarios and validate with a professional when needed.
- Calculation limits
- The model uses simplified formulas and cannot account for all variables in your specific case (local regulations, personal conditions, temporal changes).
Methodology
Per cycle = base cycle + medications + monitoring + genetic testing (if selected).
Gross total = per cycle x number of cycles.
Out-of-pocket = gross total - insurance coverage.
Cumulative success = 1 - (1 - per-cycle success rate)^number of cycles.
Glossary+−
- Base clinic fee
Procedural and facility fees charged by a fertility clinic for an IVF cycle, typically excluding medications and add-on services.
- Medications (stimulation drugs)
Drugs used to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs; costs vary by protocol and dosage.
- ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)
Laboratory procedure to inject a single sperm into an egg; often charged as an add-on service.
- PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing)
Genetic testing performed on embryos, typically an additional laboratory cost.
Key takeaways
This calculator turns per-cycle IVF pricing into a total budget and pairs it with the cumulative odds of success across cycles.

Health & SustainabilityWorked examples
Two cycles, no insurance
$12,000 base, $4,000 meds, $1,500 monitoring, no PGT, 2 cycles, no insurance, 35% per-cycle success.
Interpretation
$17,500 per cycle, $35,000 total out-of-pocket, with about a 58% cumulative chance of success over two cycles.
Frequently asked questions
Why model multiple cycles?
Most patients need more than one cycle. Cumulative success rises with each attempt, but so does the total cost.
Are these prices accurate for my country?
Costs vary widely by clinic and country. Replace the defaults with quotes from your clinic for a realistic figure.
