Egg freezing cost calculator

How much does egg freezing cost?

Q: Why does the number of cycles change with age?

Because yield per cycle falls. Published data put the median at 12–20 mature eggs at 30 but only 4–11 at 40, so reaching the same target takes proportionally more cycles and more money.

Q: Is storage really charged every year?

Usually, and it continues for as long as the eggs are kept. Over ten years storage can approach the cost of a retrieval cycle, which people rarely factor in at the start.

Q: What if I cannot afford the target number?

Fewer eggs is a lower chance rather than no chance. Many people bank what they can afford and accept the odds knowingly, which is a legitimate decision.

Cycles needed to reach a target number of eggs, plus storage over time.

How this is worked out

Population estimateAn average for people with your inputs, not a prediction for you. Individual outcomes vary widely around it.

Egg freezing cost is the number of retrieval cycles needed multiplied by the cycle fee, plus annual storage. Published oocyte yields put half of women at 12–20 mature eggs at age 30, 7–16 at 35, and 4–11 at 40, so older patients typically need more cycles to reach the same target.

Age-based mature oocyte yield: 50% of women aged 30, 35 and 40 had 12–20, 7–16 and 4–11 mature oocytes frozen respectively, on a standardised antagonist protocol at 300 IU/day (retrospective cohort, 2025). Storage pricing must be confirmed with your clinic.
