T-Test Calculator (Welch and Student)
Paste two independent samples and get t, the degrees of freedom, the p-value, the critical value and the decision — computed BOTH ways, Welch and Student's pooled variance, with Welch as the default because it does not assume the two variances are equal. The Welch–Satterthwaite degrees of freedom are computed exactly, not rounded down. Sample means, standard deviations, the confidence interval of the difference and Cohen's d come with it.

Frequently asked questions
What is T-Test Calculator (Welch and Student)?
Paste two independent samples and get t, the degrees of freedom, the p-value, the critical value and the decision — computed BOTH ways, Welch and Student's pooled variance, with Welch as the default because it does not assume the two variances are equal. The Welch–Satterthwaite degrees of freedom are computed exactly, not rounded down. Sample means, standard deviations, the confidence interval of the difference and Cohen's d come with it.
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 T-Test Calculator (Welch and Student) 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.
