What is ANOVA?
ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) tests if three or fewer groups have similar or different averages, like comparing test scores across multiple classes or product ratings across brands. It compares means across groups and variance between groups vs. within groups.
How does the MathCalc ANOVA calculator work?
This free MathCalc ANOVA calculator computes group means. It calculates how much the group means differ from the overall mean. It calculates within-group variances. In the ANOVA test, the F-statistic is calculated by dividing the variance between groups by the variance within groups. The degrees of freedom are split into two parts. The final decision rule is simple: if the p-value is less than or equal to the chosen significance level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the group means are significantly different; otherwise, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. The calculator reports the F-statistic, degrees of freedom, and p-value.
How to use the MathCalc ANOVA Calculator?
- Enter Group 1 data, separated by commas.
- Enter Group 2 data, separated by commas.
- Enter Group 3 data (optional), separated by commas.
- Enter Group 4 data (optional), separated by commas.
- Choose a significance level from the drop-down list: 0.05 (95% confidence), 0.01 (99% confidence), 0.10 (90% confidence).
- After entering the values, click “calculate”, and in seconds, you will see the result.

Get Quick Results
If you are finding ANOVA with two groups, with three groups, or with four groups by hand, it can be time-consuming, especially when dealing with large datasets. This free MathCalc ANOVA calculator gives you accurate results in seconds.
Example: If you are finding ANOVA with two groups (Group 1 = 21, 22, 20, 23, 22 | Group 2 = 19, 18, 20, 19, 18), enter your values, and the calculator gives you an accurate result (F-statistic: 19.6, Df between: 1, Df within: 8, Ss between: 19.6, Ss within: 8).
Reduce Human Error
Manual math can lead to minor mistakes that cost you money or points. This tool provides proven formulas to reduce errors, and your results are always right.
Example: If you are finding ANOVA with three groups (Group 1 = 0, 12, 11, 13, 12 | Group 2 = 8, 9, 10, 9, 8 | Group 3 = 15, 16, 14, 17, 16), enter your values, and the calculator gives you an accurate result (F statistics: 53.090, Df between: 2, Df within: 12, Ss between: 116.8, Ss within: 13.2).
FAQ
Why only up to four groups?
This free MathCalc ANOVA calculator is set to handle between 2 and 4 groups easily.
How do I format data?
Type numbers only, separated by commas. For example: 12, 13, 15.
Which significance level should I choose?
0.05 is most common (95% confidence).0.10 makes it easier to find differences. 0.01 means you need strong evidence to say they are different.
Example: If you are finding ANOVA with three groups (Group 1 = 0, 12, 11, 13, 12 | Group 2 = 8, 9, 10, 9, 8 | Group 3 = 15, 16, 14, 17, 16), enter your values, and the calculator gives you an accurate result (F statistics: 53.090, Df between: 2, Df within: 12, Ss between: 116.8, Ss within: 13.2).
How do I format data?
Type numbers only, separated by commas—for example: 12.5, 13, 14, 12.
Which α should I choose?
• 0.05 is most common (95% confidence)
• 0.10 makes it easier to find differences
• 0.01 means you need very strong evidence to say they're different
