What is an Uncertainty Calculator?
The Uncertainty Calculator is a powerful tool for finding the uncertainty associated with your equation. Every measurement, whether in engineering, physics, data analysis, or any other project, comes with a degree of uncertainty.
Our tool helps simplify the process of calculating that uncertainty to ensure you have more accurate data and make more prominent data-driven decisions.
Here's an example
Let's say you have an equation x^2, with x = 5±0.1. By inputting this information into the calculator, you will get the result and a comprehensive uncertainty analysis, helping you better understand the potential error in your calculations.
How to Use the Uncertainty Calculator?
Using the Uncertainty Calculator is very easy:
- Enter the value of your measurement in the form of a*x^2 + b*x + c. This could be anything from the length, mass, volume, or any other quantifiable parameter.
- Specify the values and uncertainties for each variable.
- Click the "Calculate Uncertainty" button to see the results and detailed uncertainty analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any questions about using the Uncertainty Calculator or understanding its outputs, check out our FAQs:
How do I input my equation?
Enter your equation in the input field using standard mathematical notation. For example, use 'x^2 + 3*x + 5'. Ensure you use '*' for multiplication.
What format should I use for the variable values and uncertainties?
Input variable values and their uncertainties in the format: value ± uncertainty. For example, '5 ± 0.1' means the value is 5 with an uncertainty of 0.1.
What does the uncertainty analysis tell me?
Uncertainty analysis provides a quantitative measure of the confidence in the measurement. It helps you understand the potential error range in your results.
Can I use this calculator for more complex equations?
Yes, this calculator can handle a wide range of mathematical expressions, including trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions.
Can I use this calculator to calculate multiple variables?
This uncertainty calculator is designed to calculate one instance at a time involving a single measurement.
