    How to use it

    1. Paste numeric observations separated by commas, spaces, or line breaks.
    2. Choose Percentile Value to find Pk, or Percentile Rank to rank a specific value.
    3. For percentile value mode, enter k from 0 to 100.
    4. Review quartiles and IQR for broader distribution context.
    5. Check the interpolation step before reporting a rounded answer.

    Frequently asked questions

    Which percentile method is used?

    This page uses a common linear interpolation method with position (n−1)×p on the sorted data.

    Is percentile rank the same as percentile value?

    No. A percentile value finds a data value at a chosen percentile; percentile rank estimates where a chosen value falls in the distribution.

    Can I paste repeated numbers?

    Yes. Duplicates remain part of the dataset and affect ranks normally.

    Is this a medical height or weight percentile calculator?

    It can calculate percentiles from numeric data you provide, but it does not include age- or sex-specific clinical reference charts.

    Scope and accuracy

    Percentile definitions vary across software and fields. This page states and uses one interpolation convention; regulated, medical, or institutional reports may require a different convention.
