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 Shares

Variables in Formula:

Shares_i: Number of shares purchased in lot i
Price_i: Purchase execution price per share for lot i (₹)
Total Shares: Sum of all shares owned

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).

Total Shares Owned225 Shares
Total Capital Deployed₹3,07,500
True Average Buying Price₹1,366.67 / share

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.
