How to use Median Calculator

Paste numbers separated by spaces, commas, semicolons or newlines. The tool sorts them and picks the middle number, or averages the two middle numbers.

How Median Calculator calculates the result

Sort all values in ascending order. For an odd number of observations, select the middle value. For an even number, average the two central values. The median is less sensitive to outliers than the mean.

Example

For 1, 2, 10 and 20, the middle values are 2 and 10, so the median is 6.

What to know

The median is resistant to extreme values but does not show the full spread of your data. Input is limited to 20,000 numbers.
