Story point calculator
Paste the votes from an estimation round. You get the average, the median, the nearest card and, most useful of all, how far apart the team is in deck steps.

Wide spread · 3 steps. The lowest (3) and the highest (13) voters should explain their pick before anyone votes again.
How to read the result
- Spread in deck steps counts how many cards apart the lowest and highest votes are. 3 and 5 are one step apart on a Fibonacci deck; 3 and 13 are three.
- One step is a close call: pick one and move on. Two steps is worth a short talk. Three or more means people are picturing different work.
- Don’t just take the average. Votes of 3 and 13 average to 8, a number nobody chose. Let the extremes explain first. More in when estimates disagree.
- The nearest card is the smallest card at or above the average, the same suggestion PointHuddle shows after a reveal.
