How it works
- Paste or type a list of numbers, separated by commas, spaces, or new lines.
- The mean, median, mode, sum, count, min, and max update as you type.
- Use the result to check your own arithmetic or summarize a data set quickly.
The formulas
Mean is the sum of all values divided by how many there are:
Mean = (sum of all numbers) / (count of numbers)
Median is the middle value once the numbers are sorted — the average of the two middle values if the count is even.
Mode is the value (or values) that appear most often in the list.
Example: for 4, 8, 6, 5, 3, 8, 9, 8, 2 — the mean is (4+8+6+5+3+8+9+8+2)/9 ≈ 5.89, the median (sorted: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 8, 8, 9) is 6, and the mode is 8, since it appears three times.
FAQ
What counts as a valid number list?
Any numbers separated by commas, spaces, or new lines — including negatives and decimals, e.g. "4, -8.5, 6". Anything that fails to parse as a number (like stray letters) shows an error instead of silently being dropped.
What does it do when there are multiple modes?
It lists every value that shares the highest frequency. If every number appears exactly once, there is no meaningful mode, so it shows "None" rather than an arbitrary pick.
How is the median calculated for an even-sized list?
The list is sorted, then for an even count the median is the average of the two middle values; for an odd count it is the single middle value.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Every calculation runs with plain JavaScript in your browser — the numbers you type never leave your device.
