Average Calculator

Calculate the average (mean) of up to four numbers.

How Does This Calculator Work?

The average (arithmetic mean) is the sum of all values divided by how many values there are.

Enter up to four numbers to find their average — useful for quick sets of grades, prices, or measurements. Enter 0 for any unused slots.

Example Calculation

Three Test Scores Example

Scores of 10, 20, and 30 (4th slot left at 0 — see note above).

(10+20+30+0)/4 = 15.

Tips

If you have fewer than 4 numbers, enter 0 for the remaining slots — but note this will pull your average toward zero, so for very small data sets, calculating by hand may be more accurate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I only have 2 or 3 numbers?

Enter 0 for the unused slots — but keep in mind this divides by 4 regardless, so for a true average of only 2 or 3 numbers, you may want to calculate it by hand: sum ÷ count.
