All calculators

Every calculator here runs in your browser and shows its working. The statistics tools come first, grouped by what you have: a list of numbers, a frequency table, several groups, or summary figures from a published result. Maths and finance calculators follow.

Statistics: standard deviation and spread

  • Standard deviation

    Sample or population σ from a list of numbers, with a dot plot and full working.

  • Variance

    The squared spread, before the final square root. Sample and population.

  • Relative SD (%RSD)

    Spread as a percentage of the mean. The laboratory precision measure.

  • Coefficient of variation

    The same quantity as %RSD, reported as a ratio.

  • Standard error

    How precisely the mean is known, and recovery of SD from a published SE.
