How This Calculator Works
Computes the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) across all purchase lots. Simple arithmetic averages of prices without weighting share quantities yield incorrect results.
Average Price = (Σ [Shares_i × Price_i]) / Total SharesVariables in Formula:
Worked Step-by-Step Example
You bought 100 shares at ₹1,500 (₹1,50,000), then bought 50 shares on a dip at ₹1,350 (₹67,500), and 75 more shares at ₹1,200 (₹90,000).
Key takeaway: By averaging down on dips, your break-even price dropped from ₹1,500 to ₹1,366.67, turning a 3.3% loss into a profitable position at CMP ₹1,450 (+6.1%).
Common Mistakes to Avoid
⚠ Taking simple average of share prices
Buying 10 shares at ₹100 and 90 shares at ₹200 does not equal ₹150 average. The true weighted average is ₹190 per share.
⚠ Averaging down on structurally declining businesses
Averaging down only makes sense for high-conviction quality businesses. Never average down on penny stocks or fundamentally deteriorating companies.
