Calculate mean, median, range, min, and max of any set of numbers — just enter comma-separated values.
The Average Calculator computes the mean (arithmetic average), median, range, minimum, and maximum of any set of numbers. Just type your numbers separated by commas and get all five statistics instantly.
Averages are used everywhere — in school grades, sports statistics, business performance metrics, scientific research, and everyday decision-making. Understanding the difference between mean and median is especially important when data has outliers.
Mean vs Median
The mean (average) adds all numbers and divides by the count. It's affected by extreme values. If a group of 5 people earns ₹25K, ₹30K, ₹28K, ₹27K, and ₹5,00,000 (one outlier), the mean is ₹1,22,000 — misleadingly high.
The median is the middle value when sorted. For the same group, the median is ₹28,000 — much more representative of the "typical" salary. This is why news reports about income often use median rather than mean.
Range, Min, Max
The range (max − min) tells you the spread of the data. Along with mean and median, these five statistics give a comprehensive picture of any dataset.
1. Enter Numbers: Type your values separated by commas (e.g., 10, 20, 30, 40, 50). Spaces also work.
2. View Results: The calculator instantly shows mean, median, range, minimum, and maximum.
Mean = Sum of all values / Count of values
Median = Middle value (for odd count) or average of two middle values (for even count) when data is sorted in ascending order
Range = Maximum − Minimum
Example: {3, 7, 2, 9, 4, 6} → Sorted: {2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9}
Mean = 31/6 ≈ 5.167
Median = (4+6)/2 = 5 (average of 3rd and 4th values)
Range = 9−2 = 7, Min = 2, Max = 9
Example 1 — Exam Scores: 72, 85, 90, 68, 78, 92, 65
Mean = 550/7 = 78.57, Median = 78 (sorted middle value)
Range = 92−65 = 27, Min = 65, Max = 92
Example 2 — Stock Prices (7 days): 102, 108, 105, 111, 99, 115, 107
Mean = 107.57, Median = 107, Range = 16
