What is Stock Average Calculator?
A stock average calculator computes the weighted average purchase price when you buy the same stock at different prices — a strategy called averaging or averaging down. It helps you understand your true cost per share.
Averaging down lowers your average cost when a stock falls, but it also increases your total exposure to that stock.
How does the Stock Average Calculator work?
Each purchase's cost (price × quantity) is added together and divided by the total shares bought.
The calculator also shows your total investment and the current value at the latest price.
How to use the Stock Average Calculator?
- Enter the price and quantity for each purchase of the stock.
- Optionally enter the current market price.
- The calculator shows your average cost, total investment, and current P&L.
