Interquartile Range

Measure the middle 50% spread of a data set with the interquartile range.

How this calculator works

Enter the values for first value, second value and review the units before calculating.

Formula / method

IQR = Q3 − Q1

Worked example

If Q1 is 2 and Q3 is 8, the interquartile range is 6.

Assumptions and limitations

Q1 and Q3 use linear interpolation across sorted values.

IQR describes central spread and does not summarize every outlier or tail.
