Average Calculator
Paste or type your numbers in any format — commas, spaces or one per line.
How it works
- The mean is the sum of all values divided by how many there are.
- The median is the middle value once sorted, or the average of the two middle values when the count is even.
- The mode is the value that appears most often; if nothing repeats, no mode is reported.
Notes
- Negative numbers and decimals are both accepted.
- A list with no repeated value has no mode, and a list where several values tie reports all of them.
Common questions
- Should I use the mean or the median?
- Use the mean for evenly spread data. Use the median when a few very high or very low values would distort it, such as house prices or salaries.
- What is a weighted average?
- One where some values count for more, like a final exam worth 40% of a grade. Repeat each value according to its weight before pasting the list.
