The grandparent test cost depends on the type of collection and test you choose. Below, we have provided some examples of what a grandparent test could cost based on your choices. Please note, all prices for appointment-based DNA tests are inclusive of VAT.

The types of collection that determine the cost of your grandparent DNA test are:

An appointment for your grandparent test at a DNA Clinic*.
Or, an appointment at a location of your *choice by a mobile collection officer.
Or, by ordering a grandparent DNA test self-collection kit.

*geographic and practical limitations may apply for certain requests

Grandparent Test Price Options

Appointment based grandparent test prices at a DNA Clinic

If you wanted to book a ‘peace of mind’ grandparent test at a DNA Clinic, the cost would be £310. This is for two grandparents and one child. In addition, this can include a ‘known parent’. Likewise, if you wanted to test an extra child, this would increase the cost by £60. So, for example, to test two grandparents and two children, the total cost is £370.

What would be the cost of a legal grandparent DNA test using the example above? The cost for two grandparents and one child is £425. The extra person cost is £90. So, the total for two grandparents and two children is £515.

DNA grandparent test kits

If you prefer to take your own DNA mouth swab samples, you can order a DNA home kit. There are two options for the grandparent DNA home kit.

You can order a grandparent test kit from our online store. The DNA test kit is free and the test analysis fee on return of your samples is only £195.
You can call 0800 988 7107 and order a grandparent home DNA kit from a Clinical Advisor. A deposit of £20 is required to order the kit, and the remaining test analysis cost is £195.

To have an extra person (grandchild) tested for any of the above options is only £54.

Mobile collection grandparent DNA test prices

If you choose this option, the prices for a grandparent DNA test would be as follows. The basic cost for two grandparents and one child and one child is £345. The extra cost to have another child tested is £60. So the total cost for two grandparents and two children is £405. Similarly, to test two grandparents, one child and one know parent, the total cost is also £405.

The legal Grandparent DNA test cost is £450 for two grandparents and one child. The extra person cost is £90. So the total cost for testing two grandparents and two children is £540.

In addition, Including a known parent can also increase the accuracy of your results. Again, while other DNA testing companies will charge you for this, we offer this option at no additional cost.
