How this tool works

Create a box plot from numeric data

Paste one numeric column from a spreadsheet-style table or plain text. The calculator sorts the values, calculates the quartiles, and renders a box-and-whisker plot for quick distribution checks.

  • Use one value per row, or separate values with commas, spaces, tabs, or line breaks.
  • Check the five-number summary, Q1, median, Q3, IQR, whiskers, mean, and sample size.
  • Use the outlier list to spot values beyond the Tukey fences.

Understand quartiles, IQR, and Tukey outliers

The box shows the middle half of the data from Q1 to Q3. The median line marks the center, while the whiskers extend to the smallest and largest values inside the 1.5 IQR Tukey limits.

  • A wide box means the middle values are more spread out.
  • A shifted median can suggest skew in the distribution.
  • Listed outliers may be errors, rare events, or meaningful extremes.

Compare skew and unusual values

The sample data includes one high value, 48, compared with the main group of values between 12 and 31. That makes it useful for checking whether the Tukey outlier logic, whiskers, and median placement match your expectations before using your own dataset.

FAQ

Can I enter a list of numbers?

Yes. Paste raw numeric values separated by rows, commas, spaces, or tabs, and the calculator will build the box plot.

How are quartiles calculated?

DataToPlot sorts the data, takes the median, and excludes the median when splitting odd-sized samples into lower and upper halves.

How are whiskers calculated?

Whiskers use the Tukey rule and extend to the smallest and largest values within 1.5 IQR of Q1 and Q3.

How are outliers detected?

Values below Q1 - 1.5 IQR or above Q3 + 1.5 IQR are listed as outliers.

Can I paste data from a spreadsheet?

Yes. Paste a single numeric column from a spreadsheet.

Is the calculation done locally?

Yes. The box plot and summary statistics are calculated in your browser.

Can I export the box plot?

Yes. Export the rendered plot as PNG, SVG, JPG, or JPEG.
