When you need them

Before launching an A/B test

Rank hypotheses with ICE or RICE, find the funnel step with the largest loss, and estimate what the expected lift is worth in revenue.

Running and reading the test

Calculate the sample size and duration, then check significance, the confidence interval and probability to beat control. For surveys, size the sample by margin of error.

FAQ

How do I calculate A/B test significance?

Enter visitors and conversions for A and B. The calculator runs a two-proportion z-test and reports the p-value, relative lift with a confidence interval, and whether the difference is significant at your chosen level.

How many users does an A/B test need?

It depends on the baseline conversion rate, the minimum detectable effect, significance level and power. With a 5% baseline and a 10% relative lift at 95% significance and 80% power you need roughly 31,000 users per variant.

Frequentist or Bayesian — which should I use?

Frequentist tests control the false positive rate when you fix the sample size in advance. Bayesian mode gives the probability that B beats A and the expected loss, which is easier to explain. The calculator supports both.

Can I stop a test as soon as it becomes significant?

No. Peeking and stopping early inflates false positives. Run the test to the planned sample size, or use a method designed for sequential looks.

How do I choose which experiment to run first?

Score ideas with ICE or RICE, focus on the funnel step with the largest absolute loss, and estimate the revenue impact of the expected lift so the test is worth its traffic.

Is the statistics verified?

Yes. The distributions are checked against high-precision references, sample sizes against Evan Miller’s calculator, and the Bayesian probability against the closed-form formula and a Monte Carlo simulation.
