Example Data Table

Index	Input Value	Cumulative Sum
1	12	12
2	18	30
3	-4	26
4	10	36
5	6	42

This sample shows how each new value updates the running total.

Formula Used

Cumulative sum adds each value to the running total from prior steps.

C₁ = S + A₁
Cᵢ = Cᵢ₋₁ + Aᵢ

Where:

S = starting value
Aᵢ = adjusted input value at step i
Cᵢ = cumulative total at step i

Adjusted value uses this transformation:

Aᵢ = (Tᵢ × multiplier) + offset

The transformed value Tᵢ may be standard, absolute, or squared.

How to Use This Calculator

Set a multiplier to scale each input before accumulation.
Set an offset if each value needs a fixed adjustment.
Choose standard, absolute, or squared value mode.
Select the number of decimal places for output.
Click the calculate button to generate the results.

Download the result table as CSV or PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a cumulative sum?

A cumulative sum is a running total. Each new number is added to the previous total. It helps track growth, decline, and progression across a sequence of values.

2. Can I enter negative values?

Yes. Negative values reduce the running total in standard mode. They become positive in absolute mode, and they become squared positive values in squared mode.

3. What does the starting value do?

The starting value sets the initial running total before the first input is processed. Use it when your data begins from an existing balance, stock level, or prior accumulation.

4. Why would I use a multiplier?

A multiplier scales every processed value before it joins the cumulative sum. This is helpful for unit conversion, weighted accumulation, or quick scenario testing.

5. What is the offset per value?

The offset adds a fixed amount to each processed value. It can model recurring fees, bonuses, baseline adjustments, or measurement corrections across all inputs.

6. What does the graph show?

The graph plots the cumulative total at every step. It makes turning points, drops, steady growth, and volatility much easier to see than a raw number list.

7. What file formats can I export?

You can export the calculated table as a CSV file for spreadsheets. You can also export the result section as a PDF for sharing or records.

8. Does this calculator support decimals?

Yes. The calculator accepts decimals, negative values, and whole numbers. You can also control how many decimal places appear in the final displayed results.
