contents We attempt to quantify the exact proportion of monic $p$-adic polynomials of degree $n$ which are irreducible. We find an exact answer to this when $n$ is prime and $p \neq n$, and also when $n = 4$ and $p \neq 2$. Our answers are rational functions in $p$. This relates to previous work done to find exact proportions of $p$-adic polynomials of degree $n$ which have $k$ roots.
