Free method-validation Precision Reproducibility calculator for Assay, Dissolution, Content Uniformity & Impurity testing — by HPLC or UV-Vis. Enter your System Suitability standard injections, method constants, and reproducibility sample readings in a familiar, Excel-style table — each row calculates its own mg/dosage and % Recovery using that row's own sample weight. Add your matching Repeatability results and get the Combine %RSD of Precision instantly, correctly combined from both datasets, plus a trend chart, pass/fail verdict, full step-by-step math log, and a built-in Beginner Tips & Guide — no manual calculation needed.

Precision Reproducibility or Intermediate Precision?
Intermediate Precision and Reproducibility are both precision checks under ICH Q2(R2) — this calculator uses the exact same formulas for both, only the labels on this page and in the printed report change to match whichever one applies. Pick Intermediate Precision when testing is performed in the same laboratory, on a different instrument. Pick Reproducibility when testing is performed in a different laboratory. Choose whichever matches how your testing was actually done. You must pick one before calculating.
🧪 Precision Reproducibility Calculator
Calculation Method & Formula
Works with any instrument and any test type — choose them below and every label, formula, and the printed report update to match. Currently configured for: HPLC · Assay.
Formula Used
mg/Dosage = (Sample Area × Wt.Std × Dilution Factor × Avg.Wt × Potency ÷ 100) ÷ (Avg.Std. Area × Wt.Sp)
mg/Dosage — with API Factor = (Sample Area × Wt.Std × Dilution Factor × API Factor × Avg.Wt × Potency ÷ 100) ÷ (Avg.Std. Area × Wt.Sp)
% Recovery = mg/Dosage ÷ Label Claim × 100
%RSD = Standard Deviation ÷ Average × 100
Combine %RSD of Precision = STDEV(Repeatability + Reproducibility results) ÷ AVERAGE(Repeatability + Reproducibility results) × 100
Instrument Type
Updates the response label everywhere below — table, results & print report. UV-Vis also enforces a valid 0.00–2.00 AU absorbance range. Formula and calculation logic stay identical either way.
Select Test
Relabels the calculator and print report for your test — formula and calculation logic stay the same as above.
Method Constants
Weight taken to prepare your working standard
Total dilution factor applied to the standard
Average tablet weight from the 20-tablet weight variation
Declared strength per tablet
From the standard's Certificate of Analysis
Multiplies with Dilution Factor only when entered — leave blank to use the standard formula (without factor)
Maximum Combine %RSD of Precision per your method SOP
System Suitability — Standard Replicate Injections (Area of Standard)
Enter each standard replicate injection reading below (typically 5). Mean, SD and %RSD are calculated automatically — matching the System Suitability block on the source calculation sheet.
Count = 0 | Mean = – | SD = – | %RSD = –
Reproducibility Sample Data (Excel-Style Table)
Each row uses its own Weight of Sample to compute mg/Dosage and % Recovery — never a single locked weight cell for every row.
Samples = 0 | Live Average = – | Live %RSD = –
Repeatability Results (for Combine %RSD)
Enter the matching % Recovery results from your Repeatability run — this calculator is standalone, so nothing is fetched automatically from the Precision-Repeatability calculator. The Reproducibility Result (%) column alongside is read-only — it mirrors row-for-row whatever you entered in the Reproducibility Sample Data table above, purely so you can compare the two side by side without switching sections.
Results = 0 | Live Average = – | Live %RSD = –

Precision Passed
Calculated Combine %RSD of Precision falls within the acceptance limit.
Standard replicate injections — mean, standard deviation and %RSD:
1
Step 1 — mg/Dosage per Sample
Each row's own Area and Weight of Sample against the average standard area:
2
Step 2 — % Recovery per Sample
mg/Dosage ÷ Label Claim × 100:
3
Step 3 — Reproducibility %RSD
Standard deviation ÷ average of all % Recovery results, ×100:
4
Step 4 — Repeatability %RSD
Standard deviation ÷ average of the entered Repeatability results, ×100:
5
Step 5 — Combine %RSD of Precision
Repeatability and Reproducibility results are combined into one dataset first — the same array is used for both STDEV and AVERAGE, so the numerator and denominator always come from the same combined set (a common spreadsheet mistake is mismatching these two ranges):

Print → Destination → "Save as PDF" — this guarantees the layout, spacing, and margins look exactly like this screen (some printers add their own extra margin on one side, which "Save as PDF" avoids).
Then open More settings and uncheck Headers and footers for a clean file with no browser title/URL/date.
If the report runs onto more than one page, a small "Page X of Y" number is added automatically at the bottom of each page (supported on recent Chrome/Edge versions).
