Moving Average Calculator — free online calculator.
Formula
SMA(t) = (x(t) + x(t−1) + … + x(t−p+1)) / p
- Moving Average Calculator computes a simple moving average over a chosen window for an ordered series of values.
- The main inputs are Values (comma or space separated), Period. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
- Keep comparable quantities in compatible units whenever the formula combines or compares them.
- Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.
Example: Moving Average
Inputs
- Values (comma or space separated): 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20
- Period: 3
For 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 with a period of 3, the moving averages are 12, 14, 16 and 18.
