Percent Error Calculator

Calculate measurement accuracy with ease!

The Percent Error Calculator is a simple yet powerful tool that helps you determine the accuracy of an observed measurement compared to its true or accepted value. Whether you’re a student, scientist, or researcher, this calculator provides quick and precise results along with step-by-step explanations of the calculation process.

Key Features

✔ Easy-to-Use Interface – Enter the observed and true values, then click Calculate to get instant results.
✔ Detailed Calculation Steps – Understand how the percent error is derived with a clear breakdown.
✔ Absolute & Signed Error – See both the absolute (positive) percent error and the signed (direction-aware) error.
✔ Error Handling – Detects invalid inputs (like division by zero) and provides helpful feedback.
✔ Visually Appealing Design – Clean, modern layout with a gradient background for better readability.

How It Works

The calculator uses the standard percent error formula:

Percent Error = |(Observed Value – True Value)| / True Value × 100%

1. Enter Values – Input the observed (measured) and true (expected) values.
2. Click Calculate – The tool computes the percent error instantly.
3. View Results – Get the percentage error along with a detailed step-by-step solution.

Perfect For
