Calculate a paired-sample t statistic from the mean and standard deviation of paired differences.

How it works

Enter compatible statistical values. The calculator validates the inputs and applies t = d̄ / (s_d / √n), with df = n − 1.

The formula

t = d̄ / (s_d / √n), with df = n − 1

Variables: d̄ = Mean paired difference; s_d = Standard deviation of paired differences; n = Number of pairs.

Worked example

Example: A mean paired difference of 3, difference SD of 6 and 16 pairs give t=2 with 15 degrees of freedom.

Frequently asked questions

What is this Statistics calculator intended for?

It is an educational tool for descriptive and inferential statistical calculations from supplied values or summary statistics.

Does this calculator make a complete statistical decision?

No. Where a test statistic is calculated, the tool does not automatically replace study design, assumption checks, p-value interpretation, confidence intervals or subject-matter judgment.
