Calculadora de percentiles

Used by developers, writers, and creators worldwide.

A percentile calculator finds where a value ranks within a data set, expressed as the percentage of values at or below it. Enter your data as a comma-separated list and the value you want to rank, and it sorts the data, counts how many values fall below and equal to your value, and computes the percentile rank, alongside the data set size and its minimum, median, and maximum for context. Percentiles describe relative standing without depending on the units, which is why they power test score reports, growth charts, salary benchmarking, and performance reviews. Students use the tool to interpret a score, parents to read a growth percentile, and analysts to benchmark a figure against a distribution. The calculation counts values below plus half of those equal, giving a fair rank even with ties. Use it to see how a value compares with the rest.

FAQ

how is the percentile rank calculated

The tool counts the values below your value plus half of those equal to it, divides by the total count, and multiplies by 100. Counting half of the ties gives a balanced rank when several values match.

does the order of my data matter

No. The tool sorts the data for you before ranking, so you can paste the values in any order. It also reports the sorted set so you can confirm everything was read correctly.

what does a percentile actually mean

A percentile rank of, say, 80 means the value is at or above roughly 80 percent of the data. It describes relative standing within this particular set and is an educational estimate, not a universal score.
