How to use this tool?
This calculator finds the midpoint between two points on a coordinate plane. Follow these steps:
- Enter Point 1 (x₁, y₁): Type the x and y coordinates of the first point into the fields labeled x₁ and y₁ (e.g., 2 and 3).
- Enter Point 2 (x₂, y₂): Type the x and y coordinates of the second point into the fields labeled x₂ and y₂ (e.g., 4 and 5).
- Calculate: Click the "Calculate Midpoint" button.
- Read the result: The midpoint coordinates appear in the green box, shown as (x, y) with two decimal places. The steps below show how the midpoint was computed using the formula: ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2).
Note: All coordinates can be integers or decimals. No specific units (metric/imperial) are required—just enter any numeric values.

Frequently Asked Questions
The midpoint formula calculates the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of two points: M = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2).
Yes, the calculator accepts any real numbers, including decimals and negative values.
If both points are identical, the midpoint is the same point. The formula still works correctly.
