1. What Is Stock Average Calculator?

The Stock Average Calculator helps investors calculate the weighted average purchase price of their stock holdings. This is essential for tracking investment performance and making informed trading decisions.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the weighted average formula:

\[ \text{Average Price} = \frac{\sum (Quantity_i \times Price_i)}{\sum Quantity_i} \]

Where:

\( Quantity_i \) — Number of shares purchased in each transaction
\( Price_i \) — Purchase price per share in each transaction (₹)
\( \sum \) — Summation of all transactions

Explanation: This formula calculates the true average cost of your stock holdings by weighting each purchase by the number of shares bought at that price.

3. Importance Of Average Price Calculation

Details: Knowing your average purchase price helps determine profit/loss, set realistic price targets, and make strategic decisions about when to buy more or sell existing holdings.
