Brier Calculator

A Brier score grades a forecast by how far your confidence was from the outcome. One forecast, one number: zero if you were certain and right, one if you were certain and wrong. Work through the three questions below and the calculator does the rest.

How to read the number

The Brier score is the squared distance between your probability and the outcome. Certainty that turns out wrong costs a full 1.0; hedging at 50 percent costs 0.25 either way. That asymmetry is the point: the score rewards knowing what you do not know, and it punishes confident mistakes hardest.

Below 0.10 is good. Around 0.20 is roughly where a thoughtful amateur lands. Above 0.30 usually means the forecasts were too confident for their evidence, not that the world was unfair.

No rush. No hot takes. This is a slow conversation — introduce yourself when you are ready.
