A/B Test Significance Calculator
Check if your A/B test result is statistically significant with a two-proportion z-test, p-value, lift and confidence level.
Last reviewed by the Radiatus Cloud team
Variant A (control)
Variant B (treatment)
Two-tailed two-proportion z-test. Significant at 95% means there is less than a 5% probability the observed difference is due to chance. Avoid stopping tests early — decide sample size in advance.

Check if your A/B test result is real
An A/B test can show a difference that is just chance, and only a significance test tells you whether to trust it. This calculator runs a two-proportion test to check if your A/B result is statistically significant.
Why significance testing is essential
When you compare two variants and one converts better, the difference could be a real effect or just random variation, and the two look identical without a test. A significance test computes the probability that a difference this large would arise by chance if the variants were actually equal; if that probability is low enough, you can trust the result. Declaring a winner without this is the most common and costly mistake in A/B testing, because acting on noise wastes effort and can make things worse. The test is what separates a real improvement from a lucky sample.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why test for statistical significance?
Because a difference between two variants could be a real effect or just random chance. A test tells you which, so you do not act on noise.
What does the two-proportion test do?
It computes the probability that a difference this large would arise by chance if the variants were truly equal. A low probability means the result is significant.
What is the most common A/B testing mistake?
Declaring a winner without a significance test, acting on a difference that is really just random variation from a small sample.
Does significance mean the effect is large?
No. Significance means the difference is unlikely to be chance, not that it is big. A significant result can still be a small effect, so consider both.
Is my data uploaded?
No. The calculation runs entirely in your browser.
