Probability = Odds ÷ (1 + Odds)
Percentage = Probability × 100
If odds are written as a : b, then decimal odds = a ÷ b.
You can also calculate directly:
Percentage = a ÷ (a + b) × 100
Failure percentage = 100 − Success percentage
This calculator treats the input as event odds, not as a standalone clinical effect-size odds ratio.
It converts event odds into a probability percentage. You can enter decimal odds like 1.5 or ratio odds like 3:2. The result shows the implied chance of success in percentage form.
Probability measures chance out of the whole. Odds compare success against failure. A 50% probability equals 1:1 odds. They describe the same event using different formats.
Add the terms first: 3 + 2 = 5. Then divide the success term by the total: 3 ÷ 5 = 0.6. Multiply by 100 to get 60%.
Yes. Values below 1 mean the event is less likely than failure. For example, 0.5 converts to 33.33%, which is below even odds.
Not by itself. A medical effect-size odds ratio needs a baseline probability before conversion into an absolute percentage. This page converts event odds, not standalone comparative effect sizes.
Because the success and failure parts are equal. One success part and one failure part create two total parts. Success is one of those two parts, so the percentage is 50%.
It is another way to express the success chance. If the probability is 25%, the event happens about 1 time in 4 on average. It helps make percentages easier to interpret.
CSV works well for spreadsheets and datasets. PDF is useful for reports, sharing, and printing. Both options make the result easier to reuse outside the calculator page.
