Percentile Calculator

Percentile Calculator calculator can be used to determine the percentile rank of a score in a dataset, helping you understand where a particular value stands relative to the entire dataset.

Calculation Formula

Percentile = (R / N) × 100

Where:
R = Number of values below and including the score
N = Total number of values in the dataset

How to Use the Percentile Calculator

  1. Enter your score in the "Score" field. This is the value you want to find the percentile rank for.
  2. Enter your dataset in the "Dataset" field as comma-separated values. Make sure each value is separated by a comma.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the percentile rank.
  4. The result will show the percentile rank as a percentage and provide an explanation of the calculation.

Understanding Percentile Rank

A percentile rank indicates the relative standing of a score within a dataset. For example, if your score is at the 75th percentile, it means that 75% of the values in the dataset are less than or equal to your score, and 25% are greater.

Example

Suppose you have a test score of 85 and the following dataset of scores: 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100. If you enter 85 as your score and 70,75,80,85,90,95,100 as your dataset, the calculator will determine that your score is at the 71.43rd percentile (since 71 out of 100 scores are less than or equal to 85).

Important Notes

  • The dataset should contain at least one value.
  • The calculator assumes that the dataset represents a random sample from a larger population.
  • Percentile ranks are useful for comparing scores across different datasets or scales.
