This calculator summarises a list of numbers: the mean (average), median, mode, range and standard deviation. Paste values separated by spaces, commas or newlines, and the statistics update as you type.

How to use this tool
1 Paste or type your numbers into the large field. Spaces, commas and newlines all work as separators.
2 Use a dot or a comma as the decimal separator; a single comma between digits is read as a decimal comma.
3 The main cards show count, sum, median, minimum and maximum. Open “More statistics” for range, mode and standard deviation.
4 Use Copy summary to copy every figure at once, or Clear to start a new list.
Formula and calculation logic
Mean
Mean = Sum of values ÷ Count
The arithmetic average. It is sensitive to very large or very small values, which can pull it away from the median.
Median and mode
Median = middle value of the sorted list; Mode = most frequent value
The median splits the sorted list in half, taking the average of the two middle values for an even count. The mode is reported only when at least one value repeats; several values can share the top frequency.
Population standard deviation divides by the number of values; sample standard deviation divides by one less, which is the usual choice when the data is a sample. The sample figure is not shown for a single value.
Worked example
Mean and median of 2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 7, 9
A small data set with one repeated value.
Sum: 40, count: 8, mean: 5
Sorted middle values: 4 and 5, median: 4.5
Mode: 4 (it appears three times)
The mean is 5, the median is 4.5 and the mode is 4. The population standard deviation is 2.
A list with two modes
Values 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4.
Both 2 and 3 appear twice
No single value is the most frequent
Median: average of 2 and 3 = 2.5
The calculator reports 2 and 3 as modes instead of choosing one arbitrarily.
Edge cases and accuracy
Non-numeric entries
Text such as “abc” is ignored and listed in a warning, so one typo does not silently change the list. The statistics are calculated from the valid numbers only.
Population vs sample standard deviation
Population standard deviation assumes the list is the whole data set. Sample standard deviation corrects for estimating from a sample and is larger for small lists.
No mode, or several modes
If every value appears once, there is no mode. If several values tie for the highest frequency, all of them are shown.
Decimal separators
Both a dot and a comma are accepted. Commas can also separate list items, so “1, 2, 3” is three numbers while “1,5” is one number with a decimal comma.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between mean and median?+−
The mean adds every value and divides by the count. The median is the middle value of the sorted list. Outliers pull the mean further than the median, so both are shown.
Why is the mode missing?+−
A mode requires at least one repeated value. When every number appears exactly once, the calculator reports “No mode” instead of inventing one.
Which standard deviation should I use?+−
Use population standard deviation when the list is the complete data set. Use sample standard deviation when the numbers are a sample used to estimate a larger population; it divides by n − 1.
How are invalid entries handled?+−
Entries that cannot be parsed as numbers are ignored and named in a warning above the results. Statistics use only the valid numbers.
Do commas separate numbers or act as decimals?+−
A single comma between digits, such as 1,5, is treated as a decimal comma. Other commas separate values, so 1,2,3 is read as three numbers. Spaces and newlines are unambiguous separators.
How many decimal places are shown?+−
Up to eight decimal places, with trailing zeros removed. The underlying arithmetic keeps more precision, so the displayed figures do not accumulate rounding errors.
