Multi-Entry Average Price Calculator
Calculate weighted average purchase price and total investment across multiple trade legs.
How the Calculation Works
Read parameters and compute total exposure: multiply order quantity by contract unit multiplier.
Evaluate terminal return at the selected target price using strict financial mathematical boundary logic.
Deduct upfront capital commitments, taxes, or net debits to produce final net profit or loss realization.
Calculation Formula
Example Calculation
Bought 100 shares at ₹100 and 200 shares at ₹85.
Total capital (₹10,000 + ₹17,000 = ₹27,000) divided by 300 shares produces ₹90.00 average cost.
Assumptions & Parameters
- Executions evaluate clean purchase prices without brokerage netting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use weighted average instead of simple average?
Weighted average correctly accounts for unequal share quantities across multiple buy orders.
How do I calculate average price for 3 or more entries?
Add total money spent on all entries, then divide by the total number of shares bought.
Does buying more shares at lower prices reduce the average quickly?
Yes. Larger buy volumes at lower prices pull the weighted average down more aggressively.
How is break-even calculated on averaged positions?
Your break-even is your weighted average entry price plus round-trip transaction costs.
Can I use this for crypto and forex?
Yes. The volume-weighted formula is universal for all financial instruments.
Does averaging price guarantee a profitable exit?
No. If the stock continues downward, averaging down increases total capital exposure.
