Can I use a web sample size calculator?
For a simple design, often yes. The risk is that most calculators assume a specific test and do not say which, so it is easy to get a number that does not correspond to the analysis you will actually run. Check the assumptions or use G*Power, where they are explicit.
This comes up on Sample Size and Statistical Power, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
