Abstract
This chapter discusses the duration to compute the 85th percentile. As the computation of 85th percentile involves huge data depending on the study, it is important to have efficient tools to speed up the process of 85th data calculation and for the researcher to develop an 85th Data Calculator named 85DC to perform more efficient data calculation. Comparison has been made using 15 sets of data, and as a result the duration to compute 85th percentile has reduced from 22 to 26 % by using 85DC.
