About the Median Calculator – Middle Value
The median is the middle value when the numbers are put in order. Half the values are below it and half above. It is a better summary than the mean when a few values are very large or very small, such as incomes or house prices.
For 12, 15, 15, 18, 22, 27 and 31, the median is 18.

Things to keep in mind
- With an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle values.
- Sort the numbers first; the calculator does this for you.
- Compare the mean and the median: a big gap suggests the data is skewed.
