DF Calculator
Welcome to the DF Calculator website! Here you can easily calculate degrees of freedom for various statistical tests like ANOVA, Chi-square, 1-sample t-test, 2-sample t-test with equal variances, and 2-sample t-test with unequal variances.
Introduction to Degrees of Freedom
Degrees of freedom (DF) is a statistical concept that represents the number of independent values that can vary in an analysis without breaking any constraints. It is crucial in hypothesis testing and helps in determining the distribution of test statistics.

What is DF?
Degrees of freedom (DF) is a fundamental concept in statistics that represents the number of values in a calculation that are free to vary. It is an important factor in determining the distribution of a test statistic under a null hypothesis.
What is DF Calculator?

How to Use DF Calculator?
- Select the appropriate statistical test from the dropdown menu.
- Enter the required parameters like sample size, number of groups, etc.
- Click "Calculate" to get the degrees of freedom and the complete solution.
Formulas for Calculating DF
1-sample t-test:
df = N - 1
2-sample t-test with equal variances:
df = N1 + N2 - 2
2-sample t-test with unequal variances (Welch's t-test):
df = ( (Var1/N1 + Var2/N2)2 ) / ((Var12 / (N12 (N1 - 1))) + (Var22 / (N22 (N2 - 1))))
ANOVA:
- Between groups: dfbetween = k - 1
- Within groups: dfwithin = N - k
- Total: dftotal = N - 1
Chi-squared test of independence:
df = (rows - 1) × (columns - 1)
