Did You Know?
Mean vs Median for salaries
India's average salary sounds high because a few billionaires pull the mean up massively. The median salary — what the middle earner makes — is far more representative of 'typical' income. Always ask which average is being quoted.

How to use this calculator

1

Enter your numbers

Separate with commas, spaces, or new lines. You can paste from Excel directly.

2

Set decimal places

Choose precision based on your use case — 2 for general, 6 for scientific.

3

Read all statistics

Mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation all calculated instantly.

The formula explained

Mean = Sum of all values ÷ Count
Median = Middle value when sorted
Std Dev = √(Σ(x − mean)² ÷ n)

Mean is sensitive to outliers. Median is more robust — use it for skewed data like salaries. Mode is the most frequent value. Standard deviation measures how spread out values are from the mean.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between mean and median?

Mean is the arithmetic average — sum divided by count. Median is the middle value. For skewed data (e.g. salaries), median is more representative because a few very high values pull the mean up.

What does standard deviation tell you?

How spread out the numbers are from the mean. Low std dev = values clustered near mean. High std dev = values spread widely. Two datasets can have the same mean but very different std deviations.

What if there are multiple modes?

A dataset can be bimodal (2 modes) or multimodal (3+ modes). This calculator shows all values that appear most frequently.

Can I use this for exam marks?

Yes — enter your class marks separated by commas. The mean gives the class average, median shows the midpoint, and std dev shows how spread the marks are.

What is the mean of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25?

Mean = (5+10+15+20+25) / 5 = 75 / 5 = 15. The median is also 15 (the middle value). The mode does not exist as all values appear once.
