Correlation Calculator

Find the Pearson correlation coefficient between two lists of numbers, with the coefficient of determination and covariance.

Correlation between two lists

Pearson r: —
R squared: —
Covariance: — · Pairs: —
Strength: —
r runs from −1 for a perfect negative relationship, through 0 for none, to +1 for a perfect positive one.

How to use the Correlation Calculator

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the free online correlation calculator.

Paste your two lists of numbers in matching order and the Pearson r appears instantly.
It runs from minus 1 for a perfect negative link, through 0 for no relationship, to plus 1 for a perfect positive one.
As a guide, values above 0.7 or below minus 0.7 are strong, while values near 0 show little relationship.
No. A high correlation only shows that two variables move together, not that one causes the other.
It is the correlation squared, and it shows the share of the variation in one list explained by the other.
Yes. The tool pairs values in order, so it uses only as many pairs as the shorter list provides.
Yes. A negative r means that as one list rises the other tends to fall, giving a downward relationship.
Covariance measures how two lists vary together, but unlike r its size depends on the units used.
No. The correlation is computed in your browser and your numbers never leave your device.
Yes. It is completely free and unlimited, with no account, no sign-up and no usage caps.
