Estimating required duration and traffic

Last updated: September 14, 2026Applies to: A/B Calculator tabPro plan only

This is a calculator that answers "how long does an A/B test actually need to run to get a result?" You don't need any statistics background — just enter three numbers to get an estimate. This is a Pro-only feature.

The three inputs

Reading the results

Assuming the real difference turns out to be 5%, 10%, 20%, or 30%, the calculator shows "time until the result is known" and "total visitors needed" for each. Smaller differences take longer to confirm; larger differences can be surprisingly quick to detect. A small note below the visitor count shows the per-pattern breakdown too.

How the calculation works internally

It uses the industry-standard two-sample proportion test sample size formula (95% confidence, 80% power). It's been cross-checked against Adobe's Target Sample Size Calculator and produces nearly identical numbers.
