average out
Reach the middle
To average out is to reach a balance or typical level over time, despite individual variations: Some months we spend more, some less, but it averages out.
The phrase suggests that highs and lows eventually compensate for each other.
You can also average out a set of numbers by calculating their mean: Average out these figures and tell me what you get.
