Frequently asked questions
How is a percentile different from a quartile? Quartiles are just three fixed percentiles — the 25th (Q1), 50th (Q2), and 75th (Q3) — while this calculator lets you request any percentile from 0 to 100, using the same linear interpolation method.
Why might a spreadsheet give a slightly different percentile than this calculator? Different software can use different interpolation conventions (there are several standard percentile methods); this calculator uses the common linear interpolation between sorted data points, which matches most spreadsheet defaults but not every statistical package.
Is the Percentile Calculator free to use? Yes — it is completely free, with no sign-up, no download and no usage limits. You can use it as often as you need.
Is my data private? Yes. The calculation runs entirely in your browser — the values you enter are never sent to our servers, stored or shared with anyone.
What information do I need? Just the following: Numbers, Percentile (0–100). Each field includes a hint explaining exactly what to enter.
Can I use it on my phone? Yes — the tool is fully responsive and works on any device, and the same calculator is available in the EasyWorkCalcs mobile app.
