What is Average?

The Average Calculator finds the mean, median, sum, range, minimum, and maximum of a set of numbers. This is one of the most-searched calculator types globally — students, teachers, and professionals use it daily.

Mean (arithmetic average) = sum of all values divided by the count. This is what most people mean when they say 'average.' It's sensitive to outliers — one extreme value can skew the mean significantly.

Median = the middle value when sorted. More robust against outliers than the mean. If you have an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle values.

Range = difference between the largest and smallest values. It shows the spread of your data.

Formula

Mean = (Sum of all values) / Count Median = Middle value when sorted Range = Maximum − Minimum

Example — 85, 90, 78, 92, 88: Mean = (85+90+78+92+88)/5 = 433/5 = 86.6 Sorted: 78, 85, 88, 90, 92 Median = 88 (middle value) Range = 92 − 78 = 14 Sum = 433 Min = 78, Max = 92

Frequently asked questions

When to use mean vs median?
Use mean for symmetrical data without outliers (test scores, heights). Use median when outliers exist (salaries — a CEO's salary skews the mean, median is more representative).
How to calculate average percentage?
Add all percentages and divide by count. Example: 85%, 90%, 78% → average = (85+90+78)/3 = 84.3%. If weights differ (like credits), use weighted average instead.
What is weighted average?
Weighted average accounts for different importance of values. Formula: Σ(value × weight) / Σ(weights). Used in GPA calculation where different courses have different credit hours.
