Stock Average Calculator: Find Your Average Share Price
Our stock average calculator helps you compute the average price of your shares when you have bought them at different prices. This is essential for investors who use the averaging strategy to reduce their cost per share.
The share price average calculator takes into account all your purchases — different quantities at different prices — and gives you the true average cost per share. This helps you make informed decisions about when to buy more or sell.
Average Price = Total Investment / Total Shares = Σ(Price × Qty) / Σ(Qty)
Stock Average Calculation Example
Purchase 1: 50 shares at ₹200 = ₹10,000
Purchase 2: 100 shares at ₹150 = ₹15,000
Purchase 3: 75 shares at ₹120 = ₹9,000
- Total shares: 225
- Total invested: ₹34,000
- Average price: ₹34,000 / 225 = ₹151.11
If current price is ₹170, you are in profit. If below ₹151.11, you are at a loss.
