How to Use the Stock Average Down Calculator

Averaging down is an investment strategy where you buy more shares of a stock as its price falls, reducing your overall average cost per share. Our calculator helps you determine exactly how many shares to purchase to reach your target average price.

Step-by-Step Guide:

Enter your current shares: The number of shares you already own

Current average price: Your current cost basis per share

Market price: The current trading price of the stock

Target price: Your desired average price after averaging down

When Should You Average Down?

Averaging down can be an effective strategy when used correctly, but it's important to understand when it's appropriate:

Strong fundamentals: The company's business remains strong despite stock price decline

Temporary setbacks: Price drop due to short-term market volatility, not fundamental issues

Long-term conviction: You believe in the company's long-term prospects

Available capital: You have additional funds to invest without compromising your financial stability

Warning: Never average down on fundamentally weak companies or "falling knives." Always do your research before investing additional capital.
