P-value Calculator

Convert between z and normal p-values (left, right, center, between, two-tail), or one-/two-tailed p from z with optional α.

How it works

Under a normal model, p-values are areas under Φ. Two-tail p = 2(1−Φ(|z|)). Smaller p means stronger evidence against H₀.

p_two=2(1−Φ(|z|)) · p_left=Φ(z) · p_right=1−Φ(z)

When to use

Use this tool when you need to: try z=1.96 (two-tail p≈0.05) or invert from two-tail p=0.05 to recover z≈1.96. Optional α=0.05 for a reject decision.

How to use this tool

  1. Enter your values in the fields above.
  2. Review the formula and any mode options for your problem.
  3. Read the result and the step-by-step solution.

P-value calculator

Convert either way between a z-score and normal p-values (any one area), or compute a classical one-/two-tailed p-value from a z test statistic with optional α.

Mode

Provide any one value — equivalent to reading a z-table both ways for a normal distribution.

Probabilities as decimals (0.05) or percents (5). Optional α applies to the primary p (two-tail when z is the input). Blank α skips the reject decision.

How it works

What is a p-value?

A p-value is used in hypothesis testing to judge whether results are statistically extreme under the null hypothesis H₀ (a default position such as “no effect” or “no association”). Assuming H₀ is true, the p-value is the probability of data at least as extreme as observed. It is not the probability that H₀ is true.

z ↔ p converter

For normal data, a z-score table (or its inverse) maps between z and areas: left/right tails, from-mean (0 to z), central band, and two outer tails. Enter any one quantity; this tool fills the others — the same layout as calculator.net’s p-value calculator.

Tails in testing

Two-tailed tests count both extreme directions (usual default). Left- or right-tailed tests match one-sided alternatives. The smaller the p-value, the stronger the evidence against H₀ for a given model.

α and significance

Conventionally p ≤ 0.05 is called significant when α was fixed at 0.05 beforehand, but the threshold is a design choice. Always report the p-value; a binary reject / fail-to-reject call is only as meaningful as the study design.
