About this tool
The Random Number Generator is built for speed and accuracy: every calculation runs in your browser, so your data never leaves your device and the result updates as you type. It works equally well on a phone, a tablet or a desktop, and it is free to use as many times as you like.
Common use cases
- Drawing raffle or lottery numbers.
- Choosing a random winner from a numbered list.
- Creating sample data for a spreadsheet.
- Running classroom probability experiments.
Tips for the best result
- Use the latest figures you have - even a small change in rate or term can shift the outcome by hundreds.
- For annual figures, divide by 12 to get a monthly number you can compare with the result.
- Bookmark this page and revisit the calculation as the inputs change.
Frequently asked questions
Is this true randomness?
It uses the browser's pseudo-random generator, which is unpredictable enough for games, sampling and testing but not for cryptographic keys.
What happens if I ask for more unique numbers than the range allows?
The tool caps the count at the number of distinct values available so it never loops forever.
