> The median calculator finds the middle value of a data set once sorted, along with the mean, mode and range. For an even count, the median is the average of the two middle values.

## Inputs

- Data

## Results

- Median
- Mean
- Mode
- Range

## Formula

```
Median = middle value of sorted data
```

## Explanation

The median is robust to outliers: one huge value changes the mean but not the median.

### How to use the Median Calculator

- **Data**

Results update as you type, and every field accepts the units shown in its menu.

### How it works

Sort the numbers and pick the middle one, or average the two middle numbers.

### What each result means

- **Median** = median([Data])
- **Mean** = [Mean]([Data])
- **Mode** = [Mode]([Data])
- **Range** = range([Data])

## Worked example

Inputs — Data: 3, 7, 1, 9, 4, 100.

Results — **Median = 5.5**; Mean = 20.6667; Range = 99.

## FAQ

**When is the median better than the mean?**
For skewed data such as house prices or incomes.

**What if there is no mode?**
When no value repeats, the mode is shown as a dash.

**What formula does the Median Calculator use?**
Median = middle value of sorted data.
