Variance Calculator
Free online Variance Calculator for fast, accurate variance calculations. Just enter your numbers and get instant results.
How We Calculate Results
This calculator computes five core descriptive statistics from your data set: mean (sum ÷ count), median (the middle value once sorted, or the average of the two middle values for an even-sized set), standard deviation and variance (the average squared distance of each value from the mean — using either the population or sample formula depending on which you select), and range (maximum minus minimum).
The result is based on the inputs you provide and the assumptions described below. Learn more about how WIN Calculator develops and reviews its calculations.
Example
For example, try a round number first (like 10 or 100) to confirm the calculator matches what you'd expect by hand, then switch to your real numbers.
Assumptions
- Inputs are treated as exact real numbers — the calculator doesn't infer units or significant figures beyond what you actually enter.
- Standard mathematical conventions are used for order of operations, sign, and domain — for example, only real-number results are returned, not complex numbers.
Limitations
- Results are rounded for display — very large, very small, or repeating-decimal results may be truncated; use the formula above directly if you need full precision.
- Inputs outside a formula's valid domain (like a negative number under an even root, or a triangle that can't geometrically exist) produce an error or an undefined result rather than a guessed answer.
Sources
- Standard mathematical definitions and formulas as taught in secondary and college-level mathematics.
Validation
- Every formula in our calculator library is covered by an automated regression test suite that checks its output against known reference values before any code change ships.
- Formulas are written from publicly documented sources — standards bodies, government agencies, or established textbooks — rather than derived from scratch, and are reviewed again whenever the underlying guidance changes.
