Use this Median Calculator to find the middle value of a numeric dataset. You can enter individual numbers or use value:count format for repeated values.
Calculation Method
First, sort the values from smallest to largest.
Odd number of values: The median is the single middle value.
Even number of values: The median is the average of the two middle values.
Example
For:
9, 2, 7, 4, 5
Sort the values:
2, 4, 5, 7, 9
The middle value is 5, so the median is 5.
Important Note
The median is based on the position of values after sorting. It is often less affected by very large or very small outliers than the arithmetic mean.
