How to use this tool

  1. Enter numbers, value to rank.
  2. Select Calculate to view the result.
  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

The method, explained

Percentile rank = count(xi ≤ selected value)/n × 100%.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using numbers = 2, 4, 6, 8, value to rank = 5, the result is 50 %. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

What to keep in mind

Uses the inclusive empirical rank; other tie conventions produce different answers. A descriptive or probability calculation under the stated assumptions. Check the sample design and model before interpreting results.
