What does the fairness metrics calculator produce?
Calculate selection, true-positive and false-negative rates for two your groups without deciding whether an observed difference is lawful or fair.
The working area above saves numeric inputs in this browser and exposes every formula. It does not decide fairness, safety, compliance or release approval.
What do you need before you start?
- Freeze the complete population, process, period and approved outcome criteria before entering aggregate counts.
- Use ordinary nonnegative decimal notation. Counts must be whole numbers through one billion. Review thresholds support increments of 0.1 percentage points.
- Confirm comparable populations and source labels. The tool does not collect individual records or test an AI model.
What information do you enter?
The browser calculator accepts only the aggregate numeric inputs listed below.
- Reference group records (required). Enter the complete assessed population for the reference group.
- Reference group favorable outcomes (required). Enter favorable outcomes for the reference group.
- Reference group actual positives (required). Enter records independently classified as actual positives.
- Reference group true positives (required). Enter actual positives that received a favorable outcome.
- Comparison group records (required). Enter the complete assessed population for the comparison group.
- Comparison group favorable outcomes (required). Enter favorable outcomes for the comparison group.
- Comparison group actual positives (required). Enter records independently classified as actual positives.
- Comparison group true positives (required). Enter actual positives that received a favorable outcome.

How does the fairness metrics calculator work?
- 1Freeze the evidence basis
Retain the source population, evaluation version, success criterion and review thresholds in your own controlled records.
- 2Enter the bounded counts
Use the numeric fields above or a clearly fictional example. Correct counts that exceed their population or imply an impossible confusion matrix.
- 3Calculate and inspect
Review every descriptive rate and entered gate. Gates use exact count and decimal expressions. Displayed percentages round to two decimal places.
- 4Keep a restorable backup
Download the free backup before clearing or replacing work. Earlier JSON result downloads can restore inputs. Restoring recalculates results and preserves previous browser inputs.
- 5Prepare the finalized calculation
Download all seven finalized files free. Browser preparation does not transfer inputs to a provider.

Who makes the final decision?
A responsible person reviews the result. Group definition, data quality, sample design, statistical significance and legal relevance require qualified human review.
Is this tool free?
Yes. The on-screen result and listed downloads are free. No checkout is required. Keep local backups and review the stated method and limits.
Can I use the fairness metrics calculator for this task?
Calculate selected measures from datasets. Group definition, data quality, sample design, statistical significance and legal relevance require qualified human review.
What still needs review?
Group definition, data quality, sample design, statistical significance and legal relevance require qualified human review.
Aggregate counts do not establish complete evidence, comparable samples or valid labels. No individual-record audit, model test or release approval is performed.
Rates and entered gates describe the supplied counts. They do not establish statistical significance or a legal conclusion.
