Sum Calculator (Add a List of Numbers) by TheCalcTools

How the Sum Calculator (Add a List of Numbers) works

Paste numbers from a spreadsheet, a bank statement or a receipt, one per line or separated by commas or spaces. Negative numbers and decimals work.

Do not include thousands separators (write 1500, not 1,500), because a comma is read as a separator between numbers.

The formula

Sum = x₁ + x₂ + … + xₙ; Sum of squares = x₁² + x₂² + … + xₙ²

Worked example

Using the default values shown in the calculator:

Numbers to add120.50 89.99 45.25 310.00 15.75
  1. 120.50 + 89.99 + 45.25 + 310.00 + 15.75 = 581.49.
  2. Average of the 5 numbers = 116.30.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my total wrong when numbers have commas?

A comma separates numbers, so 1,500 is read as 1 and 500. Remove thousands separators first, or use spaces or new lines between numbers.

Can it add negative numbers?

Yes. Write them with a minus sign, for example -45.25.
