How this works in your browser
The calculation itself is simple date arithmetic - adding 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last period, or 266 days to a known conception date - performed with your browser's built-in JavaScript Date object. Because it runs entirely on your own device, the dates you enter are never transmitted or stored anywhere, which matters for a calculator handling personal health information.
