Midpoint Calculator
Midpoint: it uses the midpoint formula ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2) to find the point halfway between two coordinates. Worked through below with real figures, and the calculator repeats the working on your own inputs — free, on-device, instant.
Midpoint Calculator lets you find the midpoint of a segment in seconds: enter your x₁, y₁, x₂ and y₂ for the midpoint coordinates, all worked out locally in your browser.
About this calculator
Midpoint is easiest to get wrong in the setup, not the arithmetic. It uses the midpoint formula ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2) to find the point halfway between two coordinates. It matters whenever a shape has to be measured, cut, covered or compared and the geometry has to be right first. The worked example on this page (Midpoint of (2, 4) and (6, 10): ((2+6)/2, (4+10)/2) = (4, 7) .) shows the full substitution; the calculator above runs the same working on your own numbers, in your browser, with nothing uploaded.
How to use
- Enter the first point's coordinates (x1, y1).
- Enter the second point's coordinates (x2, y2).
- Press Calculate to find the midpoint.
- Read the midpoint coordinates.

Technical notes
Midpoint Calculator uses the midpoint formula ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2) to find the point halfway between two coordinates.
Points are taken exactly as entered on a flat plane; rounding affects only the displayed decimals.

FAQ
How is a midpoint calculated?
The midpoint is the average of the two x-values and the average of the two y-values.
Is the midpoint always exactly between the points?
Yes. It lies on the straight line joining the points, exactly halfway along it.
Can the points have negative coordinates?
Yes. Negative coordinates are handled the same way, since the midpoint is just the average of each axis.
Does the Midpoint Calculator send my data to a server?
No. The Midpoint Calculator runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded, stored, or shared.
