How do I simulate a Monte-Carlo pi estimate?

Open this page and use the live Distributions tool below — set your inputs and the simulation runs instantly in your browser using real numerics. No install, no account needed.

Yes. The simulation runs free in your browser. A one-time unlock or a Pro plan adds advanced parameters, saved presets, data import, and clean exports.

Can I use my own numbers?

Absolutely — every input is adjustable, and with data import you can drive a Monte-Carlo pi estimate from your own measurements.

Governing equation

f (x) = \frac{1}{2 π 1.00} e^{- \frac{( x - 0 ) ^{2}}{2 \cdot 1.00}}

Reading this result: The mean μ only slides the bell sideways while σ sets its width — variance is σ² = 1.00, so doubling σ quadruples the spread.

About this simulation

The full Distributions tool models a Monte-Carlo pi estimate with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.
