📌 What Is Share Average?

Share Average refers to the average price per share after buying the same stock at different prices and quantities. It’s essential for tracking profits, planning exits, and managing investment decisions.

🧮 Formula to Calculate Share Average

Average Price=(Quantity1×Price1)+(Quantity2×Price2)+…Total Quantity\text{Average Price} = \frac{(\text{Quantity}_1 \times \text{Price}_1) + (\text{Quantity}_2 \times \text{Price}_2) + \ldots}{\text{Total Quantity}}Average Price=Total Quantity(Quantity1​×Price1​)+(Quantity2​×Price2​)+…​

🧪 Example: Manual Share Average Calculation

Let’s say you bought:

• 100 shares at ₹50
• 50 shares at ₹70

Average Price=(100×50)+(50×70)100+50=5000+3500150=8500150=₹56.67\text{Average Price} = \frac{(100 \times 50) + (50 \times 70)}{100 + 50} = \frac{5000 + 3500}{150} = \frac{8500}{150} = ₹56.67Average Price=100+50(100×50)+(50×70)​=1505000+3500​=1508500​=₹56.67
