Bayes' Theorem Calculator

Bayes' Theorem Calculator helps you apply Bayes' theorem to update a prior probability with new evidence. Use this free browser-based calculator from XTRAW Tools to compare inputs, estimate results, and plan your next step.

How to Use the Bayes' Theorem Calculator

1. Enter the required calculator inputs shown in the form.
2. Review the probability, distribution, dataset, contingency table, correlation, regression, or diagnostic assumptions.
3. Run the calculator, then adjust one input at a time to compare scenarios or check your estimate.

What This Calculator Helps With

Apply Bayes' theorem to update a prior probability with new evidence. It is designed for students, teachers, researchers, analysts, gamers, probability learners, science users, and anyone working with statistics who want a fast, browser-based estimate before relying on a spreadsheet, textbook, analytics platform, research software, professional source, or specialist.

• Prior Probability P(A) (0–1): 0.3
• Likelihood P(B|A) (0–1): 0.8
• Marginal Probability P(B) (0–1): 0.5

Common Uses

People use this calculator when they need a quick way to estimate probability, compare statistical assumptions, review distribution values, or check a statistics formula.

• Math Solving: Solve probability, statistics, distribution, regression, diagnostic, or classroom problems from entered values.
• Measurement: Measure sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, correlation, probabilities, distribution values, or model estimates.
• Project Planning: Plan research, surveys, lessons, experiments, dashboards, probability scenarios, or analysis workflows using transparent formulas.

Formula or Method

P(A|B) = P(B|A) × P(A) / P(B)

Example

Example inputs: Prior Probability P(A) (0–1): 0.3; Likelihood P(B|A) (0–1): 0.8; Marginal Probability P(B) (0–1): 0.5

Example result: Using the default inputs, posterior probability is 48.00%.
