Average Calculator
Calculate mean, median, mode, and comprehensive statistics for any set of numbers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between mean, median, and mode?
The mean is the average (sum divided by count). The median is the middle value when numbers are sorted. The mode is the value that appears most frequently. Each provides different insights into a dataset.
When should I use the median instead of the mean?
Use the median when you have outliers or extreme values that might skew the mean. For example, if most house prices are $300k but one is $10M, the median gives a better sense of a typical house price.
How is the range calculated?
The range is the difference between the largest and smallest values in your dataset. It shows how spread out the data is. A larger range indicates more variation.
What if there is no mode?
If all values appear the same number of times (no value repeats), then there is no mode. This calculator will show a dash (−) when this occurs.
Can I paste numbers in different formats?
Yes! This calculator accepts numbers separated by commas, spaces, or on new lines. It will parse them correctly as long as they are valid numbers.
