Stock Average Calculator – How to Average Share Prices

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): To calculate your average stock price, multiply each buy price by the number of shares purchased, add those totals together, and divide by your total shares. Because different purchases often have different share counts, a weighted average is required rather than a simple average. Enter each buy price as a value and the share count as its weight in the calculator on this page.

Type one value per line. Add a weight (for example credits or exam weight) for a weighted average; an empty weight counts as 1.
