P-value Calculator

Convert z, t, chi-square, F and r statistics into p-values.

Tails
Significance level (α)

Enter your values to see the result.

Chi-square and F tests are right-tailed by definition. A p-value is not the probability that the null hypothesis is true; report effect sizes and confidence intervals alongside it.

How to use the P-value Calculator

Convert z, t, chi-square, F and r statistics into p-values.

  1. 1 Choose the test statistic you have.
  2. 2 Enter its value and the degrees of freedom or sample size.
  3. 3 Choose one or two tails and read the p-value.

Example and practical tips

t = 2.1 with 24 degrees of freedom gives a two-tailed p-value of 0.046, significant at α = 0.05.

Frequently asked questions

One-tailed or two-tailed?

Use two-tailed unless you decided before seeing the data that only one direction matters. A one-tailed p is half the two-tailed value.

Does p < 0.05 mean the effect is important?

No. It only suggests the data are unlikely under the null hypothesis. Check the effect size and confidence interval for importance.
