Enter any one of your known voltage values — Peak Voltage (Vp), Peak-to-Peak Voltage (Vpp), or RMS Voltage (Vrms) — select your Voltage Unit, and the Average Voltage Calculator will find your Average Voltage (Vavg) along with all the remaining voltage forms you didn't enter.

Average voltage is calculated from peak voltage using the formula: Vavg = (2/π) × Vp ≈ 0.637 × Vp. This formula applies to sinusoidal AC waveforms.
Average voltage is the mathematical mean of the rectified waveform over one period, while RMS voltage represents the equivalent DC voltage that would produce the same power in a resistive load.
Average voltage is called rectified average because it's calculated using the absolute values of the voltage waveform, effectively 'rectifying' the negative portions to positive values before averaging.
For symmetric AC waveforms, peak voltage (Vp) is exactly half of the peak-to-peak voltage (Vpp). Therefore, Vp = Vpp/2 and Vpp = 2 × Vp.
This calculator uses formulas specific to sinusoidal AC waveforms. For non-sinusoidal waveforms like square waves or triangle waves, different conversion factors would apply.
The calculator supports millivolts (mV), volts (V), and kilovolts (kV). All conversions and results will be displayed in your selected unit.
