How the estimator works
Two numbers, each from a published source: how many grafts, and what that many grafts costs where you live.
Grafts. For the pattern usually seen in men, the estimator uses first-session planning ranges by Norwood stage, rounded from one surgeon's widely cited published table, the same ranges as our guide how many grafts do I need. For the pattern usually seen in women, no study we found gives numbers by Ludwig grade, so it shows one wide range and says the evidence is thin.
Cost. The graft range is multiplied by our estimated price per graft for your city, with the same rounding and large-session discount as our city cost pages. Figures are before GST and exclude medicines, PRP, travel and revisions. They are our estimates, not quotes. How we estimate costs.
What it does not do. It does not diagnose hair loss, judge whether you are a candidate or recommend a treatment. Two people at the same stage can need very different plans, and other causes of hair loss need to be ruled out by a doctor.

The stage 2 row uses the table's range for stage 2a, the slightly more advanced form, because the table has no plain stage 2.

Questions
How accurate is a hair transplant cost calculator?
It gives a starting point, not a quote. Graft numbers depend on your donor area, hair thickness and how your hair loss will progress, which only a doctor can assess in person. The costs are our own market estimates for your city, before GST, and a clinic's price can be higher or lower.
How many grafts do I need for Norwood 3?
A widely cited surgeon's planning table puts a first session for stage 3 at about 1,000 to 1,600 grafts, for the hairline and temples. Stage 3 vertex is about 1,200 to 1,600 grafts for the front. Your own number is set by a doctor. See how many grafts do I need.
How many grafts do women usually need?
We found no study that gives graft numbers by Ludwig grade. One review describes sessions of about 800 to 1,200 grafts, and most of 195 women in a 2024 Korean series received about 1,000 to 2,000. So the estimator shows one wide range, about 800 to 2,000 grafts, and says the evidence is thin. See hair transplant for women.
Does the estimator store my answers?
No. It runs in your browser and sends nothing while you use it. If you ask our team to call you from its last step, your answers go with your request. See our Privacy Policy.
Is this a diagnosis?
This is an estimate, not a diagnosis. Please consult a qualified dermatologist or trichologist. Hair loss can have causes that need treatment of their own, and a doctor can check for them.
