Dating Standards Calculator

How to Use the Dating Standards Calculator

The Dating Standards Calculator is designed to help you evaluate your preferences and compatibility in dating based on your age, desired age range, education level, income, and location preferences. Follow the guide below to use the calculator effectively and gain useful insights into your dating standards.

Step 1: Enter Your Age

Begin by providing your age. This entry is critical as it will be used to determine the compatibility scores and recommended age ranges for dating. Ensure that your age is between the minimum of 18 and a maximum of 100.

Step 2: Specify Your Desired Age Range

• Minimum Age You Would Date: Input the youngest age you are willing to date. Make sure this age is reasonable and falls within the limits of 18 to 100.
• Maximum Age You Would Date: Enter the oldest age you are comfortable dating. Again, ensure this age is realistic and is between 18 and 100.

Step 3: Provide Your Education Level

Select your highest completed level of education from the dropdown menu. This can help assess compatibility in terms of educational standards.

Step 4: Enter Your Annual Income

Provide your current annual income in U.S. dollars. The income should be a positive number and can’t exceed one billion dollars. This information will assist the calculator in establishing potential compatibility based on financial standards.

Step 5: Choose Your Location Preference

Select the maximum distance you are willing to date. The options range from distances as short as 10 miles to anywhere in the world. Your choice here impacts the compatibility calculation, indicating how important proximity is to you in a relationship.

Step 6: Review Your Results

• Age Range Compatibility Score: This evaluates the compatibility of the ages you are willing to date compared to recommended standards, presented as a percentage.
• Recommended Minimum and Maximum Dating Ages: These values are calculated using the widely referenced “half-your-age-plus-seven” rule for minimum age, and twice your age minus seven years for maximum age.
• Recommended Income Range for Partner: The calculator offers an estimated income standard for potential partners, calculated as 75% of your current income.
• Overall Dating Standards Score: This comprehensive score is based on your age range compatibility, location preference, and educational background, expressed as a percentage.

The dating standards calculator provides insights into how your preferences align with traditional compatibility norms, helping you better understand potential matches based on objective criteria.
