About the 5th Percentile Calculator
The 5th percentile is the value below which about 5% of the numbers in a data set fall. Enter your values and this calculator finds it by linear interpolation between the two closest ranks, the same method as Excel's PERCENTILE.INC.
For the starting values (12, 15, 15, 18, 22, 27, 31), the 5th percentile is 12.9.

n is the number of values. The first value in the sorted list is at position 0.
Things to keep in mind
- You do not need to sort the values; the calculator does it.
- A percentile value is a number from your data's scale; a percentile rank tells you where a given value sits. They are different questions.
- Different software uses slightly different percentile methods, so small differences from other tools are normal.
