Coefficient Of Inbreeding Calculator

The "Coefficient Of Inbreeding", or COI, commonly labeled F and expressed as a percent, is a measure of the amount of consanguinity in an individual's ancestry, in other words, how closely related its parents are.

This tool allows you to calculate the inbreeding coefficient of a pedigree. Insert ancestor names in the pedigree form below, then press the "Calculate" button to get the inbreeding coefficient and breakdown. Blank fields will be ignored. Correct spelling is critical, as this program uses the names to identify duplicate ancestors.

Simple examples of inbreeding coefficients.

These numbers are correct if the common ancestors themselves are not inbred. If they are, the inbreeding coefficient will be higher.
