Mann-Whitney U Test Calculator
Compares two independent samples without assuming normality. Gives U₁, U₂, the rank sums, and a z corrected for both continuity and ties — with the exact distribution used instead of the normal approximation while the samples are small enough for it to matter.

Frequently asked questions
What does Mann-Whitney U Test Calculator do?
Compares two independent samples without assuming normality. Gives U₁, U₂, the rank sums, and a z corrected for both continuity and ties — with the exact distribution used instead of the normal approximation while the samples are small enough for it to matter.
When would I actually use this?
Summarising a dataset before drawing conclusions from it, checking whether a difference between two groups is real, and putting an interval around an estimate.
What is the most common mistake?
Reading a p-value as the probability that the hypothesis is wrong. It is the probability of seeing data at least this extreme if the null were true — a different statement, and a much weaker one.
How is Mann-Whitney U Test Calculator different from Chi-Square Test Calculator?
They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Chi-Square Test Calculator is the one to open when you need it to χ² test of independence on any contingency table, showing observed, expected, the contribution and the standardised residual of every cell, plus Cramér's V. Cells with an expected count below 5 are flagged, because that is when the test stops being valid. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.
Is there a tool for the next step?
F-Test Calculator is the closest one after this: Three ways in: a one-way ANOVA from raw groups, a two-sample variance ratio, or a bare F with its two degrees of freedom. Each gives the p-value, the critical value at your α and the decision, from the same exact F distribution.
What else is worth having open alongside it?
Fisher's Exact Test Calculator and Kruskal-Wallis Test Calculator — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.
Where do the figures come from?
Distributions and test statistics are computed from their standard definitions, not from a lookup table, so results carry more digits than a printed table would. The assumptions each test makes are stated with it.
