Formula used
Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) measures the typical size of prediction error. For paired values y (actual) and ŷ (predicted):
Error: eᵢ = ŷᵢ − yᵢ
MSE = (1 / d) · Σ(eᵢ²)
RMSE = √MSE
Here, d is the denominator you choose: n (default) or n−1. If you provide weights, the calculator uses d = Σwᵢ.
How to use this calculator
- Enter your Actual values and matching Predicted values.
- Optional: add Weights if some pairs matter more.
- Or upload a CSV with columns named actual and predicted.
- Choose decimals and denominator, then click Calculate RMSE.
- Review RMSE, MSE, MAE, and the detailed error table.
- Use Download CSV or Download PDF for reporting.
