How to use the Stock Average Calculator
- Enter the quantity and price for each purchase (add rows as needed).
- Optionally enter the current market price to see profit or loss.
- Use the target section to see how many shares to buy to reach a target average.
Average price formula
Average price = (Q1 × P1 + Q2 × P2 + …) ÷ (Q1 + Q2 + …)
Example: 100 shares at ₹500 and 100 more at ₹400 → average ₹450.
Averaging down: be careful
Buying more of a falling stock lowers your average, but also increases your exposure to a company that may be falling for a reason. Many traders only average down in quality long-term holdings and never in losing short-term trades.
