Average Entry Price Calculator

Enter each buy price and quantity to see your average entry price, total size and total cost.

What the average entry price is

When you buy the same asset several times at different prices, your average entry price is the single price that gives the same total cost for the same total quantity. It is the total amount spent divided by the total quantity bought. If you buy 1 coin at 100 and 1 coin at 80, your average price is 90, even though you never paid 90.

Averaging down and up

Adding to a position after the price falls is called averaging down, and it lowers your average entry, so you need a smaller rebound to break even. Adding after the price rises is averaging up, and it raises your average. The calculator handles both, and lets you add as many buys as you need. It works the same for futures positions on one side and for spot buys.

Profit and loss at the current price

Enter the current price and the calculator shows the value of the whole position, the profit or loss compared with your total cost, and the return as a percentage. This is the unrealized result you would lock in by selling everything at that price, before any fees.

The average is a weighted average, so larger buys count for more. Fees are not included. Add them to each price if you want your true cost basis.

Common questions

How do I calculate average entry price?

Add up the cost of every buy, which is price times quantity, and divide by the total quantity.

Does averaging down always help?

It lowers your average price, but it also increases your risk, since you hold more of an asset that is falling. It does not change the value of what you hold.

Can I use this for futures positions?

Yes. When you add to a position in the same direction, the exchange also shows an average entry price worked out the same way.

How many positions can I add?

You can add up to 20 entries.

Do fees change the average price?

Fees raise your real cost. To include them, add the fee to each price, or enter a small extra position for the fee.
