Average Calculator
Calculate the mean, median, mode, sum, count, min, and max of a set of numbers instantly.
How It Works
Enter your numbers separated by commas, spaces, or new lines. The calculator computes:
- Mean — The arithmetic average: sum of all values divided by the count.
- Median — The middle value when sorted. For an even count, it's the average of the two middle values.
- Mode — The most frequently occurring value(s). Only shown if a value repeats.
- Sum, Count, Min, Max — Basic descriptive statistics for your dataset.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between mean, median, and mode?
The mean is the sum of all values divided by the count. The median is the middle value when numbers are sorted. The mode is the value that appears most frequently. Each measure describes the "center" of data differently.
When should I use median instead of mean?
Use median when your data has outliers or is skewed. For example, median income is more representative than mean income because a few very high incomes can pull the mean up significantly.
Can there be more than one mode?
Yes. A dataset can be bimodal (two modes) or multimodal (multiple modes). If all values appear the same number of times, there is no mode.
