Last updated: Sep 16, 2026 | 900K Indians search stock average calculator | Example: 100 shares @100 + 100 @200 = 200 shares @150 avg

Formula

Average Price = (Q1*P1 + Q2*P2)/(Q1+Q2). Example: (100*100 +100*200)/200 =30000/200=150.

Example

Bought 100 shares @100 =10K, then 100 @200 =20K, total 200 shares cost 30K, average 150. If current price 180, profit 30*200=6K (20%).

FAQ

How to average down?

Buy more when price falls to lower average. Example: 100@200, price falls to 100, buy 100@100, new avg 150, need only 150 to breakeven vs 200.

Weighted average share-price formula

Average price = total cost of all purchases ÷ total shares. For 100 shares at ₹50 and 200 shares at ₹70, total cost is ₹19,000 and total quantity is 300, so the weighted average is ₹63.33. This is the same mathematical cost-basis concept used when reviewing holdings on brokers such as Zerodha or Groww; brokerage, taxes and other charges are excluded unless separately added.

Averaging down warning

A lower average price does not make a declining company safer. Use the result as a record of cost, not as a recommendation to buy more.

Average buying price after multiple purchases

Use price and quantity for every purchase to calculate the weighted average share price, total quantity and total invested amount. The result is also called average buying price or average stock cost. Brokerage, taxes and exchange charges are not included unless you add them to each lot cost.

After finding the average, use the stop-loss calculator or position-size calculator for risk planning. Averaging down does not guarantee that a falling stock will recover.
