Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between average and mean?

How does this handle negative numbers?

Negative numbers are included in the sum normally and will lower the average accordingly.

What format should I enter numbers in?

Separate numbers with commas or spaces - both work.

Can I calculate a weighted average?

This tool calculates a simple average. For a weighted average, each value would need its own weight factor applied first.
