Important note
This is a cultural chart, not a medical or scientific way to know a baby's sex.
The Chinese gender calendar is also called a Chinese pregnancy calendar or Chinese baby gender calendar. Different websites may use slightly different chart versions.
For reliable information, ask a healthcare professional about medical options such as ultrasound, NIPT, CVS, or amniocentesis.
How It Works
How the Chinese gender calendar is usually read
The traditional Chinese gender calendar uses two inputs: the pregnant parent's lunar age at conception and the lunar month of conception. The chart then gives a boy or girl result.
The tool above converts your dates into the Chinese lunisolar calendar in Beijing Time, then applies a common version of the traditional chart.
Different websites may use slightly different chart versions, so results can vary. Treat this as a cultural idea, not as proof. For the live lunar date and 2026 festival notes, use our Chinese calendar today guide.

What the Chinese gender calendar means
The Chinese gender calendar is a traditional baby gender chart. Many people search for it as the Chinese pregnancy calendar, Chinese baby gender calendar, or Chinese calendar to know gender. The basic idea is simple: the chart compares the pregnant parent's lunar age with the lunar month of conception, then shows a boy or girl result.
This chart is part of folklore. It is often shared for fun during pregnancy planning, family talks, or cultural curiosity. It is not a scientific test, and it should not be used for health choices. If you need reliable medical information, speak with a qualified healthcare professional.
The confusing part is the word "lunar." Lunar age is not always the same as Western age. Lunar conception month is also not always the same as the month name on a regular Western calendar. That is why a Chinese gender calendar 2026 tool needs to convert dates through the Chinese lunisolar calendar before it reads the chart.
If you are new to this system, start with the main Chinese calendar page. It explains today's Chinese calendar date, lunar months, zodiac years, solar terms, and 2026 festival dates in plain English.
Step 1
Enter the parent's birthday
The tool uses the birthday to estimate lunar age at conception. Lunar age can be one or two years different from Western age, depending on the date.
Step 2
Enter the conception date
The tool changes the Western date into the Chinese lunar month. This matters because Chinese New Year and lunar months move each year.
Step 3
Read it as folklore
The result is a traditional chart reading. It can be a fun cultural reference, but it cannot confirm a baby's biological sex.
Plain-English Notes
Why 2026 dates can change the result
In 2026, Chinese New Year falls on February 17. Dates before that still belong to the previous Chinese zodiac year. Dates after that belong to the 2026 Horse year. This does not make the gender chart more accurate, but it explains why the tool must use the Chinese calendar, not only the regular calendar.
A search for "Chinese pregnancy calendar 2026" often means someone wants to check a conception date in 2026. The important detail is that lunar months do not match January, February, March, and the rest of the Western months exactly.
