What this tool is for
Z-Score Calculator supports math checking in math calculators by showing how apply the formula shown on this page to the entered values. The page keeps the inputs, formula, and example together so the calculation can be checked before the number is reused.
When to use it
Use it when value, mean, and standard deviation are already known and you need a quick estimate before comparing options, checking a worksheet, or copying the result into another workflow.
Inputs
- Value is one of the direct inputs used to calculate z-score.
- Mean is one of the direct inputs used to calculate z-score.
- Standard deviation is one of the direct inputs used to calculate z-score.
Formula
z = (x - mean) / standard deviation
Example
Value 85, mean 72, stddev 8 gives z-score 1.625.
What the result means
The result labeled "Z-score" is the direct output of z = (x - mean) / standard deviation. In the worked example, value 85, mean 72, stddev 8 gives z-score 1.625.
Before you rely on the result
Check the inputs and formula before using the result in homework, engineering, finance, or scientific work.
