Geometry and layout calculator

Center Point Calculator

Find the midpoint between two measurements or between two coordinate points.

What the result means

The midpoint is halfway between the two values. When the first point does not start at zero, dividing the second value by two gives the wrong answer.

Formula

Midpoint equals the first value plus half of the difference between the two values.

Common mistakes

  • Dividing the ending measurement by two.
  • Measuring from two different reference edges.
  • Confusing geometric center with center of gravity.
