Overview

Budget the real cost of IVF across one or more cycles, including medications, monitoring and optional genetic testing, and see the cumulative chance of success.

Core inputs

Results

Estimated out-of-pocket

$35,000.00

Cost per cycle

$17,500.00

Gross total (all cycles)

$35,000.00

Cumulative chance of success

57.75 %

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.

Worked 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.
