Power Analysis Calculator

Calculate required sample size or statistical power for your study. Sample-size results show the smallest supported integer size that reaches the target under the selected model.

T-test power uses noncentral t distributions and the independent test assumes equal population variances. Correlation uses a Fisher-z normal approximation; proportions use a normal approximation without continuity correction. These approximations may be inaccurate for small samples or rare events. One-tailed power assumes the effect is in the prespecified direction.

Interpretation

To detect a medium effect (Cohen's d = 0.5) with 80% power at the 0.05 significance level, you need 64 participants per group (128 total).
