How It Works
The Stock Averager uses a simple mathematical formula to calculate exactly how many additional shares you need to purchase to reach your target average price:
Additional Shares = (Current Shares × (Original Price - Target Price)) ÷ (Target Price - Current Price)Example:
If you own 100 shares bought at $50 each, the current price is $30, and you want to bring your average down to $40:
- Additional shares needed: (100 × (50 - 40)) ÷ (40 - 30) = 100 shares
- You need to buy 100 more shares at $30
- New total investment: $5,000 + $3,000 = $8,000
- New total shares: 200 shares
- New average price: $8,000 ÷ 200 = $40
