✅ Introduction

When you buy shares of a stock at different prices and quantities, it’s important to know your average cost per share. This tells you your break-even price — the minimum selling price you need to avoid a loss.

An Average Calculator for Shares does this instantly. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned investor, this tool helps you track your investments and make smarter decisions.

📌 What Is a Share Average Calculator?

A Share Average Calculator (or stock average calculator) is used to calculate the weighted average purchase price of shares bought at different times and prices.

It helps you understand your overall investment cost so you can:

• Know when you’re in profit/loss
• Plan exit strategies
• Decide whether to average down or up

🧮 Formula (Simple Text Format)

Average Share Price =
(Total Cost of Shares) ÷ (Total Number of Shares)

If you bought shares in multiple batches:

Average =
(Price₁ × Qty₁ + Price₂ × Qty₂ + …) ÷ (Qty₁ + Qty₂ + …)

🧪 Example

You bought:

• 50 shares at ₹100
• 30 shares at ₹90
• 20 shares at ₹110

Step-by-step calculation:

• Total cost = (50 × 100) + (30 × 90) + (20 × 110)
  = 5000 + 2700 + 2200 = ₹9900
• Total shares = 50 + 30 + 20 = 100

Average Share Price = ₹9900 ÷ 100 = ₹99

So, your average cost per share is ₹99.
