Marriage Compatibility Calculator

Where a raw Ashtakoota score is just one number, real marriage compatibility assessment weighs it ALONGSIDE the specific dosha flags and Manglik status that can matter more than the total itself. This calculator synthesizes all of that into one overall verdict — Excellent, Good, Average, or a recommendation to review further — with the full detail behind it.

Ayanamsa: Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) · Synthesizes: Ashtakoota total score, Nadi Dosha flag, Bhakoot Dosha flag, and a Manglik cross-check

Why This Goes Beyond a Raw Score

A 30/36 total with Nadi Dosha present tells a meaningfully different story than the same 30/36 without it — this calculator explicitly surfaces the Nadi Dosha, Bhakoot Dosha, and Manglik alignment status alongside the total, rather than letting a strong headline number obscure a specific classical concern.

How the Overall Verdict Is Formed

The verdict band (Excellent/Good/Average/Review) is based on the commonly cited Ashtakoota scoring thresholds, while the three flag cards below it call out anything worth a closer look regardless of where the total lands — a genuinely strong total with a Manglik mismatch, for instance, is still worth discussing before assuming an easy path.

A Starting Point, Not a Final Word

Marriage compatibility assessment in serious practice also weighs each partner's full birth chart beyond the Moon alone, the specific dasha periods each will be running, and personal circumstances no calculator can capture — this tool is meant as a well-informed starting point for that fuller conversation, not a replacement for it.

Marriage Compatibility Calculator FAQs

How is this different from the Kundli Matching Calculator?
Both use the same underlying Ashtakoota computation; this calculator emphasizes a synthesized OVERALL verdict (weighing score, doshas, and Manglik status together), while Kundli Matching presents the raw point-by-point breakdown alongside the same checks.
What if my score is good but a dosha flag is present?
Treat the flag seriously regardless of the total score — a strong overall number doesn't cancel out a specific classical concern like Nadi Dosha or a Manglik mismatch, both of which many traditions weigh independently.
Should I make a marriage decision based solely on this calculator?
No — this is meant as an informed starting point; a full assessment considers each partner's complete chart, upcoming dasha periods, and personal circumstances, ideally with a qualified astrologer.
What counts as an "Excellent" match on this calculator?
A total Ashtakoota score of 28 or more out of 36, following the commonly cited classical threshold — though the individual dosha and Manglik flags are shown regardless of the score band.
Can two charts with a lower score still be a reasonable match?
Many traditions treat 18+ as workable, and even scores below that are sometimes assessed further by an astrologer considering which specific gunas are weak and why, rather than treated as an automatic disqualifier.
