Systems, methods, and computer media are described for index-based join size estimation. For a join operation between two tables, a filter is applied to the first table, resulting in a filter output. The filter output is then sampled. For each sample, an index for a second table is accessed and counts of records in the second table that match the sample are retrieved. Using the sample size and the retrieved counts from the index of the second table, a data size for the join operation can be efficiently and accurately estimated. Statistical confidence in the estimate can also be assessed using variance-based calculations.
