Quartile Calculator

How to use this tool

  1. Enter your numbers separated by commas.
  2. Press Generate to see Q1, the median and Q3.
  3. Add more values to see the quartiles settle.

Worked example

For 10, 12, 12, 13, 14, 15, 100, the sorted list gives Q1 = 12, median = 13 and Q3 = 14.5.

What this tool does not do / Limits

Quartiles here use linear interpolation between sorted values, which is one common method; other methods can give slightly different quartiles. Small lists give unstable quartiles, so treat them as a summary, not a precise split.

Frequently asked questions

What is a quartile?

A value splitting sorted data into quarters: a quarter of values sit below Q1 and a quarter above Q3.

Is the median the same as Q2?

Yes: the median is the second quartile, the middle value of the sorted list.
