You need to get enough completed surveys back so
that it accurately represents your population as a whole.

Here is a simple guide to calculate sample size and how many
people to send your survey to…

Population Size
Determine what your whole population size is.
Your population is the entire set of people you want to study with your survey.

Confidence Interval (margin of error)
Accuracy that responses received represents the views of population.
This will be your margin of error.
A standard confidence interval is 5% (up to 10%).

Confidence Level (accuracy)
How accurately your sample represents your population.
95% confidence level means you would get the same results 95% of the time even with different population samples.
Not advised to go below 90%.

Sample Size
Number of completed responses you need to get back.
Different from the number of people you need to invite.
Not everyone that you send your survey to will necessarily complete it.

Response Rate
Won’t know your response rate until after you send out your survey
Need to use a little bit of guesswork
Good recommendation would be to have a response rate estimate of 10-15% (conservative percentage)

So, how many people do you need to send your own survey to?

Sample Size ÷
Response Rate
![Page 11: Survey Invitations, Sample Size & Statistical Significance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022080209/553870414a79590a7f8b471a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
For example,
A sample size of 200 and an estimated response rate of 10%, would be this calculation:
200 / 0.10 = 2000
![Page 12: Survey Invitations, Sample Size & Statistical Significance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022080209/553870414a79590a7f8b471a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
In other words,
10% of 2000 = 200
Which is your required sample size.
