How this tool works

Calculate interquartile range

Paste a list of numbers and the calculator sorts the data, finds Q1 and Q3, then subtracts Q1 from Q3 to get the interquartile range.

  • Use rows, commas, tabs, or spaces between values.
  • Review Q1, median, Q3, and IQR beside the chart.
  • Use the box plot to see the middle 50% of the data.

Use IQR to understand spread

IQR measures the spread of the middle half of a dataset. It is less affected by extreme values than the full range because it uses quartiles instead of only the minimum and maximum.

  • A larger IQR means the middle values are more spread out.
  • A smaller IQR means the middle values are more concentrated.
  • Compare IQR with the full range when outliers are present.

Check Tukey outlier cutoffs

The calculator also shows Tukey lower and upper outlier cutoffs. Values outside Q1 - 1.5 IQR or Q3 + 1.5 IQR are listed as possible outliers.

FAQ

How do I calculate IQR?

Find Q1 and Q3, then subtract Q1 from Q3. The result is the interquartile range.

Can I paste values from a spreadsheet?

Yes. Paste one numeric column from a spreadsheet or a plain text list.

Does this calculator show outlier cutoffs?

Yes. It shows Tukey lower and upper outlier cutoffs based on 1.5 times the IQR.

Is the calculation local?

Yes. The IQR calculation and chart rendering run in your browser.
