Stock Average Calculator: what it calculates.

When you buy more of a stock at a different price, your cost per share changes. Buying more after a fall is often called averaging down. This calculator works out your new average purchase price so you know the break-even level for the whole holding.

The stock average calculator takes the price and quantity of two purchases and returns the weighted average price, total quantity and total cost.

How the calculation works.

Average price = (Price 1 × Quantity 1 + Price 2 × Quantity 2) ÷ (Quantity 1 + Quantity 2)
  • Each purchase is weighted by the number of shares bought.
  • Total cost is the sum of price × quantity for both purchases.
  • Brokerage and taxes are not added to the cost.

Worked example. Buying 100 shares at ₹500 and 50 more at ₹400 costs ₹70,000 for 150 shares. The average purchase price is ₹70,000 ÷ 150, about ₹466.67 per share.

How to use it

  1. 1.Enter the price and quantity of your first purchase.
  2. 2.Enter the price and quantity of the additional purchase.
  3. 3.Read the new average price and total cost.
  4. 4.Compare the average with the current market price to see your break-even level.

What it helps with

  • Shows the true cost per share after several buys.
  • Helps plan how many shares to add at a given price.
  • Gives a clear break-even price.

What it does not include

  • Brokerage, STT, stamp duty and other charges are excluded.
  • Only two purchases are combined; add further purchases in steps.
  • A lower average price does not make a falling stock a better investment.

Common questions.

What is a Stock Average Calculator?

It is an educational tool that applies the disclosed weighted average method to the assumptions you enter.

Are the results guaranteed?

No. Results are estimates, not forecasts, approvals, quotations or guarantees.

Why should I change the assumptions?

Testing conservative and optimistic inputs exposes uncertainty instead of hiding it behind one number.

Does it include tax and fees?

Only when a tax or fee is shown as an explicit input or result. Otherwise it is excluded.

How accurate is the calculator?

The mathematics follows the stated methodology, while real outcomes depend on rates, timing, rules, fees and circumstances.

Can I use this result as financial advice?

No. Use it for education and scenario comparison, then verify decisions with official documents or a qualified professional.

Why is inflation shown?

Inflation translates a future amount into approximate present-day purchasing power. The default 6% is editable and is not a forecast.

How often should I recalculate?

Recalculate when rates, income, contributions, rules, goals or repayment terms change.

Can the result differ from a bank or platform?

Yes. Institutions may use different compounding dates, rounding, charges and eligibility rules.

Is my data uploaded?

No. Calculations run locally in your browser and the input values are not sent to a calculation server.
