Percentile Calculator
Calculate a percentile value from a dataset. Enter numeric values and choose a percentile from 0 to 100.
Enter values separated by commas, spaces, or line breaks.
This page uses a sorted dataset and interpolates between ranks when needed.

How it works
The data is sorted first. The percentile is then located using a fractional position within the sorted values. If the target position falls between two values, the result is linearly interpolated.
Examples
- Data: 5, 7, 8, 11, 13, 16, 20
- 75th percentile returns a value near the upper quartile of the dataset.
