Probability basics

P(event) = favorable outcomes / total outcomes

The tool also reports odds as favorable to unfavorable counts so you can communicate results in any format.

How to use

  1. Enter the number of favorable outcomes.
  2. Enter the total possible outcomes in the sample space.
  3. See probability as a decimal, percentage, and odds in one glance.

Example

Input: Favorable = 3, Total = 12

Output: Probability = 0.25, Percent = 25%, Odds = 1:3

FAQ & notes

What if favorable exceeds total?

The calculator flags the result as invalid because favorable outcomes cannot exceed the total outcomes.

Can I express probability as 1 in N?

Yes—the odds output presents the ratio so you can restate it as 1 in N or keep the colon notation.
