A DUTCH hormone test costs $299 to $700 when purchased at Precision Analytical’s U.S. consumer prices. The widely used DUTCH Complete costs $499, while DUTCH Plus costs $650. More focused panels cost $299 to $399, Cycle Mapping costs $550, and the broadest Cycle Mapping Plus package is $700.

DUTCH, short for Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones, is a line of at-home hormone tests from Precision Analytical. Depending on the panel, testing can measure sex hormones and metabolites, cortisol patterns, cortisol metabolites, melatonin metabolites, selected organic acids, or the cortisol awakening response. Some tests use dried urine alone, while DUTCH Plus combines urine and saliva collection.

The sticker price is not always the whole cost. Professional interpretation may be separate, insurance reimbursement is uncertain, special shipping can cost extra, and ordering restrictions apply in several states.

Article Highlights

• DUTCH Complete: $499 (at $30 per hour, earning that amount would take about 2.1 full-time workdays, before taxes)
• DUTCH Plus: $650
• DUTCH Cycle Mapping: $550
• DUTCH Adrenal or Sex Hormone Metabolites: $399
• Cortisol Awakening Response: $299
• DUTCH Cycle Mapping Plus: $700
• Precision Analytical does not bill insurance directly, although some patients may be able to seek out-of-network reimbursement.

How Much Does a DUTCH Test Cost?

Precision Analytical’s current consumer testing catalog lists eight options from $299 to $700 (about 1.2 to 2.9 full-time workdays at $30 per hour).

DUTCH test	Current price	Main collection type
Cortisol Awakening Response	$299	Saliva
DUTCH Adrenal	$399	Dried urine
DUTCH Sex Hormone Metabolites	$399	Dried urine
DUTCH Complete	$499	Dried urine
DUTCH Cycle Mapping	$550	Dried urine across the menstrual cycle
DUTCH Plus	$650	Dried urine + saliva
Cycle Mapping + Complete Bundle	$650	Dried urine
DUTCH Cycle Mapping Plus	$700	Dried urine + saliva

At a $30 hourly wage, earning the $499 price of DUTCH Complete takes about 16.6 hours of gross work. DUTCH Plus represents roughly 21.7 hours, while the $700 Cycle Mapping Plus equals about 23.3 hours before taxes.

DUTCH Complete Cost

The flagship DUTCH Complete is currently priced at $499.

The kit uses dried urine collections and reports sex hormones and metabolites, cortisol and cortisone patterns, cortisol metabolites, DHEA-S, melatonin metabolite measurements, and selected organic-acid markers.

Precision Analytical describes 35 hormones and metabolites in the results, along with graphical reporting and educational material.

The Complete panel is the most relevant reference point for someone asking what “a DUTCH test” costs because it is the company’s flagship comprehensive urine panel rather than a narrowly focused cortisol or sex-hormone test.

DUTCH Plus Cost

DUTCH Plus costs $650 (about 2.7 full-time workdays at $30 per hour), which is $151 more than DUTCH Complete.

The difference is primarily the addition of saliva collections used to measure the cortisol awakening response. The current Plus kit includes four urine strips and six saliva collection tubes, along with the measurements included in DUTCH Complete.

Someone who specifically needs CAR testing should therefore compare the $650 Plus package against buying a narrower cortisol-focused test instead of automatically choosing the most expensive panel.

Lower-Cost DUTCH Tests

The cheapest standalone DUTCH product is the $299 Cortisol Awakening Response test.

Its current product description shows six saliva collection tubes and measurements of cortisol and cortisone around the waking response.

Two other focused panels cost $399 each.

The Adrenal panel measures cortisol patterns and related metabolites, while the Sex Hormone Metabolites panel focuses on estrogen, androgen, and progesterone metabolites.

These options can save $100 to $351 compared with Complete or Plus, but they also measure a narrower set of biomarkers.

DUTCH Cycle Mapping Cost

DUTCH Cycle Mapping costs $550 and is intended to measure estrogen and progesterone patterns at multiple points across a menstrual cycle.

The current Cycle Mapping test reports nine targeted hormone measurements across cycle phases rather than relying on a single collection day.

There are also two larger Cycle Mapping packages:

• Cycle Mapping + Complete Bundle: $650
• Cycle Mapping Plus: $700

That bundle pricing creates one of the biggest price differences in the DUTCH catalog.

Bought separately at listed consumer prices, Cycle Mapping at $550 plus DUTCH Complete at $499 would total $1,049. The combined package is listed at $650, a difference of $399.

Anyone who genuinely needs both sets of measurements should therefore compare the bundle before purchasing two standalone kits.

Professional Interpretation

Buying the test and understanding what to do with the report are separate issues.

Precision Analytical says patients can purchase testing, but its patient guidance says a healthcare provider is needed to interpret the results and build a personalized treatment plan.

That means the $499 or $650 laboratory price should not automatically be treated as the complete cost of care.

Some practitioners package the laboratory test with a consultation. Others charge separately for the appointment, and some existing patients may already have interpretation covered through their normal care.

There is no reliable national DUTCH interpretation fee because practitioners set their own charges. Before ordering through a clinic, ask whether the quoted price includes:

• The test kit
• Laboratory processing
• Shipping
• A results consultation
• A written interpretation
• Any follow-up appointment

A $550 clinic package including interpretation could therefore offer different value from a $499 laboratory-only purchase, even though its headline price is higher.

Does Insurance Cover a DUTCH Test?

Do not budget on the assumption that health insurance will pay for DUTCH testing.

Precision Analytical states that it does not bill or accept payment from insurance and is considered out of network.

If a healthcare provider orders the test and the patient has out-of-network benefits, the company says the patient may submit a receipt to the insurer for possible reimbursement.

Possible reimbursement is not guaranteed. Coverage depends on the insurance contract, medical circumstances, network rules, deductible, and how the claim is processed.

The old claim that reimbursement commonly depends on particular cancer-surveillance codes is too specific to use as a general rule.

HSA or FSA?

Precision Analytical says it accepts HSA and FSA payments when the account is provided in credit-card form.

Acceptance at checkout does not necessarily settle whether a particular purchase qualifies under every HSA or FSA plan. Tax-advantaged account rules can depend on the medical purpose and plan documentation.

If reimbursement eligibility matters, confirm it with the HSA or FSA administrator before spending $499 to $700 rather than assuming that successful card processing guarantees tax eligibility.

Shipping, Returns

Standard shipping is generally less of a cost problem than the old article suggests.

Precision Analytical’s collection guidance says standard shipping is free, while international and next-day shipping can generate additional charges.

Returns have a more concrete hidden cost.

Under the company’s published ordering and return terms, unused kits must be returned within one year for a refund, shipping charges are non-refundable, and a $25 restocking fee applies.

Ordering restrictions also apply to residents of:

• New York
• Maryland
• Rhode Island

Residents of those states are instructed to contact Precision Analytical for more information rather than assuming normal online ordering applies.

DUTCH vs Blood Testing

DUTCH testing and standard blood hormone testing should not be treated as interchangeable products simply because both measure hormones.

DUTCH focuses heavily on urine hormone metabolites, multiple collection times, and in some panels cortisol patterns. Conventional blood testing measures particular circulating hormones at the time the blood is collected.

For a real price comparison, Labcorp currently charges $503 for its eight-marker Custom Female Hormone Test. Its broader direct-access hormone catalog also includes individual tests starting around $49 to $159, including cortisol, estradiol, DHEA-S, testosterone, and other targeted measurements.

That makes a basic blood test potentially far cheaper when only one or two specific hormones need to be measured. A broad direct-access blood panel can cost roughly as much as DUTCH Complete.

What Does the Research Support?

DUTCH uses a different collection approach from a conventional blood draw, so it is worth separating laboratory-method evidence from broader health claims.

A published study comparing dried and liquid urine measurements found good to excellent agreement for the tested reproductive hormones and metabolites and found that four dried urine samples generally tracked well with 24-hour urine measurements.

Earlier research also found good agreement for selected estrogen and progesterone metabolites.

That supports the ability of the laboratory methodology to measure many of the analytes from dried urine. It does not establish that every symptom requires DUTCH testing, that the test diagnoses a particular condition on its own, or that a more expensive panel automatically improves treatment outcomes.

Symptoms such as fatigue, sleep disturbance, menstrual changes, low libido, or weight changes have many possible causes. Test selection and interpretation should be based on the clinical question rather than buying the panel with the longest biomarker list.

DUTCH Complete vs DUTCH Plus

For most price shoppers, the practical choice is between the $499 Complete and $650 Plus.

Feature	DUTCH Complete	DUTCH Plus
Price	$499	$650
Dried urine	Yes	Yes
Sex hormones/metabolites	Yes	Yes
Cortisol metabolites	Yes	Yes
Diurnal free cortisol	Yes	Yes
Saliva collection	No	Yes
Cortisol awakening response	No	Yes

The Plus premium is therefore $151. Paying that difference makes sense only when the added cortisol awakening response information is relevant to the reason the test is being ordered.

Ways to Spend Less

The most reliable saving is choosing the smallest panel that answers the actual testing question.

Someone interested only in cortisol awakening response can spend $299 instead of $650 for DUTCH Plus. Someone who only needs sex-hormone metabolites or the adrenal panel can spend $399 rather than $499 for Complete.

Cycle Mapping offers another clear calculation. If both Cycle Mapping and Complete are needed, the $650 combined package is $399 below their $1,049 combined standalone list price.

Provider pricing can also differ from Precision Analytical’s consumer storefront. Some clinics buy testing under practitioner arrangements or bundle the test into consultations. That can produce a lower laboratory component, a higher total bill, or both.

Compare what is actually included rather than assuming that a clinic advertising a lower DUTCH price is selling the same package under the same terms.

Is it Worth $499 to $700?

The answer depends on what information is needed.

The $499 Complete panel provides a much broader urine-metabolite and cortisol profile than buying one conventional hormone measurement. The $650 Plus adds the cortisol awakening response, and the $700 Cycle Mapping Plus expands collection across the menstrual cycle.

That extra breadth has little financial value if the clinical question only requires a $69 DHEA-S test, an $89 cortisol blood test, or another targeted conventional lab.

Likewise, buying a $650 or $700 panel without planning for professional interpretation can create a second expense after the results arrive.

The useful comparison is therefore not “DUTCH versus no testing.” It is which measurements are actually needed, what the complete test-plus-interpretation cost will be, and whether a simpler conventional test answers the same clinical question.

What We Verified

For this update, we checked Precision Analytical’s September 2026 consumer catalog, individual product pages, insurance and HSA/FSA guidance, shipping information, return terms, and state ordering restrictions.

We also compared DUTCH pricing with direct-access blood hormone testing and reviewed published research on the dried-urine collection methodology.

The strongest current U.S. price anchors are therefore $299 at the low end, $499 for DUTCH Complete, $650 for DUTCH Plus, and $700 for the most extensive Cycle Mapping Plus panel.
