How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter semen analysis values: volume (mL), sperm concentration (M/mL), total motility (%), progressive motility (%), and normal morphology (%).
  2. Set your age and BMI, and indicate whether you have a varicocele or smoke.
  3. Review Fertility index (0–100) as a composite score of all semen parameters.
  4. Check Total motile sperm count (M) and TMSC category to understand IVF/IUI applicability.
  5. Use Normal parameters (out of 6) to identify which values fall below WHO reference limits.

What each input means

Age
Your current age.
Semen volume (mL)
Ejaculate volume in milliliters. WHO lower ref: 1.4 mL.
Sperm concentration (M/mL)
Sperm concentration in millions per mL. WHO lower ref: 16 M/mL.
Total motility (%)
Percentage of motile sperm (any movement). WHO lower ref: 42%.
Progressive motility (%)
Percentage of progressively motile sperm. WHO lower ref: 30%.
Normal morphology (%)
Percentage of normally shaped sperm (strict criteria). WHO lower ref: 4%.
Varicocele present (0=No, 1=Yes)
1 if diagnosed with varicocele.
Smoker (0=No, 1=Yes)
1 if you currently smoke.
BMI
Body mass index.

What each result means

Fertility index (0-100)
Composite fertility score based on all semen parameters and lifestyle factors.
Total sperm count (M)
Total sperm count in millions. WHO lower ref: 39M.
Total motile sperm count (M)
TMSC = volume x concentration x motility. Key fertility predictor.
TMSC category (0/1/2)
0=normal (>20M), 1=subfertile/IUI (5-20M), 2=IVF/ICSI territory (<5M).
Normal parameters (out of 6)
How many semen parameters meet WHO reference limits.
Classification (0-3)
0=normozoospermia, 1=mild subfertility, 2=moderate, 3=severe.
Volume normal? (1=Yes)
1 if volume meets WHO lower reference limit.
Concentration normal? (1=Yes)
1 if concentration meets WHO lower reference limit.
Motility normal? (1=Yes)
1 if total motility meets WHO lower reference limit.
Morphology normal? (1=Yes)
1 if morphology meets WHO lower reference limit.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Age = 32, Semen volume (mL) = 3, Sperm concentration (M/mL) = 60, Total motility (%) = 55 = 9 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Fertility index
    Fertility index
    100 = 100
  3. Calculate Total sperm count
    Total sperm count
    180 = 180
  4. Calculate Total motile sperm count
    Total motile sperm count
    99 = 99
