FAQ
How is the average price calculated?
Total cost of all purchases divided by total shares. Example: 10 shares at $50 and 10 at $40 gives (500+400)/20 = $45.
How does the average-down formula work?
Shares to buy = holdings × (current average − target) ÷ (target − buy price). The target must sit between the buy price and your current average; results are rounded up to whole shares.
Are fees and taxes included?
No — the math uses raw prices. Broker fees are usually small, but add them for a conservative break-even.
Is averaging down always a good idea?
It lowers your break-even but increases exposure to a falling stock. This tool does the math; the investment decision should rest on the stock itself.

Average price and averaging down

Your average price is total cost divided by total shares. Enter each purchase and the calculator does the rest.

The average-down formula

Shares to buy = holdings × (current avg − target) ÷ (target − buy price). Holding 100 shares at $50 with the stock at $40, reaching a $45 average requires 100 more shares — the tool also shows the cash required.
