Egg Freezing Calculator

Calculate egg freezing costs, estimated eggs retrieved by age, viable eggs, and success rate for live birth. Compare freezing now vs. later and estimate total all-in cost including storage and IVF.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter your current age to get age-adjusted egg retrieval estimates.
  2. Enter the number of cycles you plan to complete.
  3. Enter the cost per cycle (default $15,000 — typical US range).
  4. Use Cost Estimate to add medications and storage. Use Success Rate to see how many eggs you need for a target live birth chance.

Formula

Viable Eggs = Retrieved Eggs × 0.75 (mature survival rate)

Cumulative Live Birth Chance = 1 − (1 − rate per egg)^viable eggs

Age-adjusted retrieval rate: ≤30: ~15/cycle, 32-35: ~12, 36-38: ~10, 39-40: ~7, 40+: ~5

Example

Example: Age 33, 2 cycles, $15,000/cycle. Retrieved: ~24 eggs. Viable: ~18. Total procedure cost: $30,000. Cumulative live birth chance with 18 viable eggs at age 33: approximately 52%.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Age is the primary factor: under 30 averages about 15 eggs, age 32-35 about 10-12, age 36-38 about 7-10, and over 40 about 5 or fewer. Only about 75% of retrieved eggs are mature and survive the freezing process.
  • The number depends heavily on age. Under 35, about 10 mature eggs give a roughly 60-70% chance of one live birth. Over 38, you may need 15-20 eggs for the same chance. Success rates drop significantly after 37.
  • A typical cycle costs $10,000-$17,000 for the procedure, plus $3,000-$6,000 for medications. Annual storage fees run $500-$1,000. Using the eggs later (thaw, fertilize, IVF transfer) adds another $5,000-$10,000.
  • The earlier the better for egg quantity and quality. Most fertility specialists recommend freezing before age 35. After 37, egg quality declines sharply, reducing success rates even with more cycles.
  • Coverage varies widely. Some states mandate fertility preservation coverage. Many plans cover diagnostic work but not the retrieval or storage. Check your specific plan and state regulations.
