The sum of 5 values is 41.00. Divided by 5, the average is 8.20.
Average Calculator
Calculate simple arithmetic mean or weighted average with custom weights. Paste raw number lists or spreadsheet columns to compute sum, median, range, quartiles (Q1, Q3), and standard deviation.
Values
Each number contributes equally to the average.

What is Average Calculator?
ProntoUso's Average Calculator parses raw numerical data from text blocks or spreadsheets. Instantly calculates simple mean, weighted average, median, total sum, min/max values, range, quartiles ($Q_1, Q_3$), and sample/population standard deviations.
How to Calculate Mean, Weighted Average, and Descriptive Statistics
Paste number sets or weighted data lists to calculate arithmetic mean, weighted average, median, range, quartiles, and standard deviation.
Simple mean vs weighted average
Simple arithmetic mean sums all values and divides by item count (n). Weighted average assigns weights to values (e.g., test scores with different credit weights), multiplying values by weights and dividing by total weights.
- Simple mean
sum(x) / n- Weighted average
sum(x * weight) / sum(weights)
Median, quartiles, and data dispersion
The median (Q2) identifies the middle value of an ordered dataset. The tool displays 1st Quartile (Q1, 25%), 3rd Quartile (Q3, 75%), range (Max - Min), and population (sigma) or sample (s) standard deviation.
- Range
max - min- Sample standard deviation (s)
sqrt(sum((x - mean)^2) / (n - 1))
Freeform paste formatting
Paste data directly from Excel, Google Sheets, or text files. The parser automatically recognizes numbers separated by newlines, commas, semicolons, spaces, or tabs.
100% browser-based execution
Statistical calculations process locally inside your browser. Pasted numbers are never transmitted to servers or stored in history.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Mean and Median?
The mean sums all numbers and divides by count, making it sensitive to extreme outliers. The median is the middle number in an ordered list, dividing data into equal halves.
How do I paste weighted grades to calculate a weighted average?
In 'Weighted Average' mode, paste one entry per line formatted with value and weight separated by semicolons or tabs (e.g., '85; 2' on line 1 and '90; 3' on line 2).
When should I use sample vs population standard deviation?
Use population standard deviation (divide by n) when analyzing complete datasets. Use sample standard deviation (divide by n - 1) when your numbers represent a sample of a larger population.
Does the calculator support comma and period decimals?
Yes. The parser recognizes both decimal conventions (e.g., '10.5' and '10,5').
What do Q1 and Q3 values represent?
Q1 (1st Quartile) is the 25th percentile mark of your dataset. Q3 (3rd Quartile) is the 75th percentile mark, illustrating data spread.
