How this tool works

Find the five-number summary

Paste raw values and the calculator sorts the dataset, finds the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum, then renders a box plot.

  • Use one value per row or separate values with commas, tabs, or spaces.
  • Check min, Q1, median, Q3, max, IQR, and sample size.
  • Use the box plot to verify the summary visually.

Use the summary for distribution checks

The five-number summary is a compact way to describe center and spread. It is especially useful before making a box-and-whisker plot or comparing multiple numeric lists.

  • Minimum and maximum show the full data range.
  • Q1 and Q3 show the middle 50% of values.
  • The median marks the center of the sorted data.

Compare full range and IQR

A large full range with a smaller IQR can indicate that most values are concentrated while a few values sit far away from the middle of the dataset.
