About this calculator
The Gini Index is a widely used measure of economic inequality. Our calculator simplifies the original formula into 2 classes, making it easier to use.
The Gini Index is calculated based on the distribution of income or wealth of a population. It varies from 0 (perfect equality) to 1 (perfect inequality).
Here, you can calculate the Gini Index in an approximate way, considering only two classes of income. This can be useful in contexts where information is limited or simplified.
Note that this is an approximation and does not replace the original formula. For precise calculations, it is recommended to use the complete formula.
