As a top DNA testing lab, customers ask, “How much does a DNA test cost?” At-home testing has exploded in the last few years and there are so many options to choose from that there really isn’t a single answer to that all-important question. The two most popular DNA tests are paternity and ancestry, so we’ll start with those and then move on to others.
How Much Does a DNA Test Cost?
For a paternity test performed at an accredited laboratory, the cost is $130 to $200 if you collect DNA at home. If you need results for court, the cost is $300 to $500. The cost of a DNA test for ancestry runs from $49 to $200 or more, depending on types of info included.
Cost for Relationship DNA Tests
Maternity DNA Test: This type of analysis determines whether the woman tested is the biological mother of the child tested. It is often used in cases of immigration and adoption.
Cost of this test is approximately: $200-$450
Grandparent DNA Test: When an alleged father is not available to test, DNA for one or both paternal grandparents + the mother + the child is analyzed to determine a biological link.
Cost of this test is approximately: $300-$500
Sibling DNA Test: Full-sibling and half-sibling tests can help establish a biological brother/sister relationship. It’s especially useful for immigration and inheritance purposes.
Cost of this test is approximately: $300-$500
Aunt-Uncle DNA Test: This type of analysis compares the DNA of a sibling of the father in question with the DNA of a child to determine if they have a biological relationship.
Cost of this test is approximately: $300-$500
Family Reconstruction DNA Test: This analysis tests DNA from a variety of close family members to determine biological relationships, most often to identify the father of a child.
Cost of this test is approximately: $450-$650
Twin Zygosity DNA Test: This analysis confirms whether twins are identical or fraternal. 70% of twins with two amniotic sacs during pregnancy are fraternal, but 30% are actually identical.
Cost of this test is approximately: $250

Can you perform a test before the baby is born? With just the father’s hair?
Hi, Kimberly. No, a cheek-swab sample is required from the alleged father. But you can definitely test before the baby is born. Get details here: https://dnacenter.com/dna-paternity-test/non-invasive-prenatal-paternity-test/

Hi,
Is a dna profile possible based on a specific testing method.
Example: Locus: D3S1358 SI 0.85
I have a report with a list of testing like above.
I need an second opinion of my profile only for the Allele Sizes.
Is that possible?
Hi! The SI (sibling index) number is based on an algorithm specific for the relationship tested, i.e. full or half sibship. To give a second opinion on allele sizes, we would need to test the samples.
