Tips for Accurate Results
- Use precise percentages when known (e.g., 25% instead of 20-30%).
- Include all known ethnicities, even if they're a small percentage.
- For mixed-race calculations, be as specific as possible with each parent's ethnic breakdown.
- If calculating a baby's ethnicity, use the parents' full ethnic breakdowns for the most accurate results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between ethnicity and race?
Ethnicity refers to cultural factors like nationality, language, and traditions. Race, on the other hand, is primarily based on physical characteristics. Our calculator helps you explore both racial and ethnic heritage.
How accurate is the ethnicity calculator?
The accuracy depends on the information you input. It provides a good estimate based on parents' ethnicities but doesn't account for genetic variations. For more precise results, consider DNA testing.
Can I calculate my baby's ethnicity?
Yes! Input your and your partner's ethnic breakdowns as the "mother" and "father" to estimate your baby's ethnic makeup. This works for mixed-race couples too.
What if I don't know my full ethnic background?
Input what you know, and use broader categories if necessary (e.g., "European"). For unknown portions, you can add an "Unknown" category. Consider researching your family history or using DNA testing services for more details.
