The Best Bodygraph Calculators to try
If you’re a Human Design Lover, a trusty Bodygraph calculator is basically your BFF.
Genetic Matrix is my all-time favourite calculator, so much so that I’ve been an affiliate of theirs since 2020, and paying for their calculator since 2018. When you take my GM recommendation, I am compensated by them for referring them as one of my trusted resources. Check out these links to my four other faves.
Genetic Matrix
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE
INSIGHT: not for those brand new to hd
PRICE: $2.99 - $12.95/m
Genetic Matrix is my favourite Human Design calculator — especially for calculating Variable information like Determination, Environment, Perspective and Motivation. This is a GREAT calculator for VISUAL learners.
I like Genetic Matrix because of the easy way it lists out Bodygraph information that can be otherwise challenging to find without certain software. They have also developed an app to make the experience more user-friendly for a growing number of mobile users.
I also love the library of Celebrity Charts to reference in the Info Centre! Genetic Matrix offers numerous different calculations and views, such as the highly discussed Tropical and Sidereal (etc) Bodygraph calculations. Genetic Matrix offers free and monthly plans for up to $9.95/month. If you’re studying Variable, I recommend a paid plan. I was using this calculator so much that I connected with GM to become an affiliate of theirs!

Maia Mechanics
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: COMPLEX
INSIGHT: not for those brand new to hd
PRICE: $6 - $13/m
Currently crushing on Maia Mechanics (owned by Jovian Archive) and the way it visually presents the Gate — Line — Colour — Tone — Base information. If you know what your Variable or Colour/Tone information translates to, this is a wonderful calculator with all kinds of depth and options to explore.
It also features a fun little dark mode option that I really appreciate. This is a subscription based app and produces very advanced imagery. It also includes an offline mode where you can view your library and load any chart — perfect for any off-grid moments throughout your deconditioning journey.
And maybe the coolest feature of all, Maia Mechanics offers a “birth time reliability” score, automatically checking for major changes in chart information and indicating when they take place. Literally so cool. This one is really growing on me!
Pure Generators Chart Calculator
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: EASY
INSIGHT: extra options for sacral-beings
PRICE: Free with options to buy
Rachel Lieberman’s Pure Generators calculator shows all basic Human Design information including Variable content!
This calculator is colourful and cute, matching the iconic Pure Generators vibe. With this calculator, you can find a quick start guide custom tailored for those with sacral definition.
This is a really great calculator and resource if you’re a Generator or Manifesting Generator.

My Bodygraph
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: EASY
INSIGHT: This was my first calculator!
Price: Free with options to buy
This was the first calculator I discovered and is connected with Jovian Archive, the original unit to bring Human Design into the collective field!
This calculator features talking Bodygraph features and is very easy to calculate basic charts and build your own collection of Bodygraphs for clients or family. You can get a lot of great information for free, with options to pay deeper.
If you’re brand new to the Human Design space, this would be the calculator I recommend starting with.
My Human Design
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: SUPER EASY
INSIGHT: This app changes traditional language
PRICE: Free
This website (and app!) was created by the 2/4 Jenna Zoe brand, and it’s fantastic for a quick reference to seeing important Bodygraph info, with the options to learn more about many areas.
When someone wants to quickly scan their Cognition or Variable info, this is a good calculator to try out.
It’s really approachable for those who are new to HD and need a gentle entry point without all the overwhelming Human Design jargon.
Just watch for different terminology that moves away from classic Human Design which at times may lead to confusion. Not all the concepts in this space are classic Human Design, but mutated for modern learners.
