P Value Calculator

Convert an already-computed z or Student t statistic into a tail probability without choosing or interpreting the hypothesis test for you.

Formula and methodology

Z mode uses the standard normal CDF. T mode uses the Student t CDF with a positive integer degree of freedom. Two-tailed p = 2 × min(CDF, survival probability).

Worked example

For z = 1.96, the two-tailed p-value is approximately 0.0499957903.

Assumptions and interpretation

  • Inputs and results remain in this browser and are not sent to analytics.
  • This tool performs general educational statistical computation; it does not select a study design or validate scientific conclusions.
  • Confidence-interval coverage describes repeated use of the method under its assumptions, not a probability assigned to the fixed parameter after calculation.
  • Keep full precision for decisions; displayed values are rounded for readability.
