How to Calculate Z-score and P-value

Instant math result

Z-scores show how many standard deviations a value sits from the mean. This calculator also approximates a two-tailed normal p-value for quick inference checks.

  • Check units

    Confirm units and mode

    Most calculation mistakes come from mixed units or the wrong mode (degrees vs radians, hyp vs leg). Double-check labels before using the number.

How to Calculate Z-Score and P-Value Step-by-Step

  1. 1Enter the raw score.
  2. 2Provide population/sample mean and SD.
  3. 3Review z-score and approximate p-value.

Governing formula

z = (x − μ) / σ

Standardizes a value and relates it to a normal-tail probability.

Example: set Raw Score (x) = 85, Mean (μ) = 70, Standard Deviation (σ) = 10, then read the result.

Variable definitions

  • x

    Observation

    Raw score.

  • μ,σ

    Mean & SD

    Reference distribution.

  • p-values assume a normal model.
