How to calculate range
This calculator finds the range of a dataset by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value — a basic measure of spread.
How the calculation works
Range = Maximum value − Minimum value.
Example
A dataset with a maximum of 95 and minimum of 62: 95−62 = 33.

Pro Tips for Range
- Range is sensitive to outliers, since it only considers the two extreme values and ignores everything in between.
- For a fuller picture of spread beyond just range, pair with a measure like standard deviation or interquartile range.
Common Range Mistakes to Avoid
- Using range alone as a complete measure of variability, when it ignores how the middle values in the dataset are actually distributed.
