Set Intersection Calculator

This set intersection calculator finds every element that two sets have in common, one of the fundamental operations in set theory that underpins logic, probability, database queries and everyday filtering, such as working out which customers appear on two separate lists. You enter the members of Set A and Set B as comma separated values, and the calculator instantly returns the intersection, written A intersect B, the elements belonging to both sets and nothing else. You also get two supporting figures: the size of the intersection, showing how many elements the sets actually share, and the total number of distinct elements across both sets combined, which puts that overlap in context. Matching works on exact values, so spelling, capitalisation and spacing need to line up between the two lists for an item to count as shared. If the two sets have nothing in common, the calculator correctly returns an empty set with a size of zero, a valid result rather than an error. The tool updates live as you type, so you can experiment with different lists, add or remove members, or paste in real data such as attendee lists, survey responses or database values to see what the two groups share. It is built for students, teachers and anyone working with sets, logic or data who needs a fast, accurate way to compare two lists.
