Average Calculator

Calculate mean, median, mode, and range of numbers

About this Tool

The Average Calculator computes various statistical measures from a set of numbers. It calculates mean (arithmetic average), median (middle value), mode (most frequent value), and range (difference between maximum and minimum values). These statistics help you understand data distribution and central tendencies.

Pro Tips

  • !

    Input Format

    Enter numbers separated by commas. Spaces are automatically handled, so "1, 2, 3" and "1,2,3" both work.

  • !

    Understanding Mode

    Mode shows the most frequently occurring values. If all numbers appear once, all numbers are modes. Multiple modes indicate multimodal distribution.

  • !

    Median vs Mean

    Median is less affected by outliers than mean. Use median for skewed distributions with extreme values.

  • !

    Range Interpretation

    A larger range indicates more spread in your data, while a smaller range suggests values are closer together.
