A thermal change computation apparatus is used with a machine tool that includes a machining mechanism for machining a workpiece and a driving mechanism for changing a relative position between the machining mechanism and the workpiece. The apparatus comprises a driving state detecting unit for detecting a driving state of a machine tool to be used; a holding time computing unit for computing a holding time where a thermal change substantially remains; a change amount computing unit for computing a thermal change amount of the machine tool based on the driving state detected at every designated operation; and a change amount adding unit for computing a present thermal change amount of the machine tool by adding an influence of a thermal change amount computed previously to a thermal change amount computed newly when the previously computed thermal change amount is available and the holding time inherent in the machine tool does not elapse since the change amount computing unit computes. The holding time computing unit computes a holding time inherent in a machine tool to be used, and accurate thermal change amount is computed using the computed holding time.
