Ways to use this calculator
- Calculate new average price after buying more shares when a stock drops 20%.
- Determine break-even price after averaging down on a crypto position.
Enter your current position (quantity and average price) and the planned additional purchase (quantity and price) to see the new blended average price, total units, and total capital committed. Useful when adding to a losing position.
Change any input, compare the result, and keep the decision separate from the calculation.
Review the scenario, understand the assumptions, and compare nearby calculations before acting.
