📉 Average Down Calculator – Lower Your Stock Price Smartly

✅ Introduction

Buying more shares of a stock after its price has dropped is called averaging down. It’s a popular strategy among investors who believe in the long-term potential of a stock. But to use this strategy effectively, you need to know your new average cost per share — and that’s exactly what our Average Down Calculator helps you figure out.

🔍 What Is Averaging Down?

Averaging down means purchasing additional shares of a stock at a lower price than your original purchase to reduce your average buy price. This helps improve potential profit margins if the stock recovers.

🧮 Formula: How to Calculate Average Down Price

New Average Price=(Old Shares×Old Price)+(New Shares×New Price)Old Shares+New Shares\text{New Average Price} = \frac{(\text{Old Shares} \times \text{Old Price}) + (\text{New Shares} \times \text{New Price})}{\text{Old Shares} + \text{New Shares}}New Average Price=Old Shares+New Shares(Old Shares×Old Price)+(New Shares×New Price)​

🧪 Example:

Let’s say you bought:

• 100 shares at ₹80
  Later, you buy:
• 50 shares at ₹60

So, your new average price per share is ₹73.33.
