What this calculator does
Percentile rank works out what percentage of a data set falls at or below a given value. Enter your own figures above and the answer updates as you type: nothing is fixed in the code, so the result reflects exactly the numbers you supply.
The formula this calculator evaluates is printed under the tool and explained below, so you can check the working by hand or reuse it in a spreadsheet.
The formula
FormulaPR = (L + 0.5E) / n × 100, where L = count below the value, E = count equal to it
The inputs explained
| Field | What to enter |

| Data (comma or space separated) | A list of numbers, separated by commas or spaces. |
| Value to rank | A number. Starts at 72. |
