Period Calculator & Tracker: Predict & Track Your Menstrual Cycle

How Does a Period Calculator Work?

The calculator uses two main inputs:

It predicts:

• Next expected period date

• Fertile window (typically 5 days before ovulation + ovulation day)

If you want to calculate exact days between cycles, our Date Difference Calculator can help measure time precisely.
