Free online average calculator
This average calculator finds the mean of a list of numbers in an instant — and gives you the full picture with the median, mode, range, sum, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation too. Just type or paste your values separated by commas, spaces, or new lines and every statistic updates live as you go. Negatives and decimals are welcome, and any non-numeric text is ignored, so you can paste messy data straight from a spreadsheet or document.

Understanding the statistics
The mean is the classic average: the sum divided by the count. The median is the middle value once your numbers are sorted, which is less affected by outliers. The mode is the most frequent value — and there can be more than one, or none at all. The range is the gap between the largest and smallest values, while standard deviation tells you how spread out the numbers are, with separate population (σ) and sample (s) figures.
