Statistical Significance Calculator
To determine statistical significance, run a two-proportion z-test: z = (pB − pA) / SE, then convert z to a p-value. If the p-value is below 0.05, the result is significant. This free statistical significance calculator does it for you — enter control and variant visitors and conversions to get the p-value, z-score and confidence level instantly.
Example: Control 350/10,000 (3.50%) vs. Variant 410/10,000 (4.10%) gives z ≈ 2.18, p ≈ 0.029 — significant at 95% confidence.

Understanding statistical significance
Statistical significance tells you the probability that the difference between your control and variant happened by chance. A p-value below 0.05 means there's less than a 5% chance the difference is random – it's likely real. For a deeper walkthrough of why 95% is the standard and the mistakes that cause false positives, read A/B testing statistical significance explained.
Significance only answers whether a difference is real – not whether you've collected enough data to detect it. Before you launch a test, use our sample size calculator to find the visitors you need, and our A/B test calculator for a full results breakdown.
Key concepts
The probability of observing your results (or more extreme) if there's actually no difference between A and B. Lower p-value = stronger evidence of a real effect.
How many standard deviations your observed difference is from zero. A z-score above 1.96 (or below -1.96) is significant at the 95% level for two-tailed tests.
Two-tailed tests check if B is different from A (either direction). One-tailed tests only check if B is better. Use two-tailed unless you have a strong directional hypothesis.
