Averaging Down Calculator
Stock fell after you bought. How many shares to buy at current price to bring your average to a target?
Who this is for
Stock or MF investors who bought at a higher price and are considering buying more after a fall. The math tells you exactly how many shares to buy — but the decision to buy at all should still be based on fundamentals, not just to lower the average.
Averaging down
Buying more of a stock/fund after its price has fallen, to reduce your average cost per share. It works if the price eventually recovers — but amplifies losses if it keeps falling.
Average cost / VWAP
Your total invested amount divided by total shares held. If you bought 10 shares at ₹500 and 10 more at ₹300, your average is ₹400 — the break-even price for the combined position.
Break-even price
The price at which your total position goes from a loss to a profit. After averaging down, your break-even drops — you need less recovery to get back to zero.
