About the Stock Average calculator
Find your average buy price when you have purchased the same stock several times at different prices.
How to use the Stock Average calculator
- Use Add Buy Session to enter each purchase: the quantity and the price.
- Press Calculate Average Price.
Formula and method
Average price = Total amount invested ÷ Total shares
Worked example
100 shares at $50 plus 50 shares at $40 cost $7,000 for 150 shares, an average price of $46.67.
Two purchases. Buying 10 shares at 100 and 10 shares at 80 costs 1,800 for 20 shares, an average price of 90 per share.
When to use the Stock Average calculator
- Finding your average purchase price after buying at different times.
- Seeing where you would break even after buying more shares.
- Keeping track of a position built in several purchases.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Averaging down without a plan, which increases exposure to a falling stock.
- Ignoring trading fees, which change your true average cost.
Tips
- Averaging down lowers your average cost but increases your exposure.
- Include brokerage fees for an accurate figure.
