Relative Risk Reduction & Absolute Risk Difference Calculator

Calculate relative risk (RR), relative risk reduction (RRR = 1−RR), absolute risk reduction (ARR = control rate − intervention rate), and NNT = 1/ARR from a 2×2 contingency table.

How It Works

Calculate relative risk (RR), relative risk reduction (RRR = 1−RR), absolute risk reduction (ARR = control rate − intervention rate), and NNT = 1/ARR from a 2×2 contingency table

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • 2×2 contingency table — The 2×2 contingency table recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the rrr & arr calculator result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the 2×2 contingency table for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate relative risk (RR), relative risk reduction (RRR = 1−RR), absolute risk reduction (ARR = control rate − intervention rate), and NNT = 1/ARR from a 2×2 contingency table. Use the rrr & arr calculator result to inform your clinical assessment.
