Stock Market Average Calculator Overview

Inputs:

Quantity (number of shares purchased)
Price (cost per share in dollars)

Output:

Average Price (calculated using the weighted average formula), Total Shares, and Total Cost.

Formula:

The average stock price is calculated using the formula:

Average Price = \frac{(Q_{1} \times P_{1}) + (Q_{2} \times P_{2}) + \dots + (Q_{n} \times P_{n})}{Q_{1} + Q_{2} + \dots + Q_{n}}

Average Price = [(Q₁×P₁) + (Q₂×P₂) + … + (Qₙ×Pₙ)] / (Q₁ + Q₂ + … + Qₙ)

Where:

Q = Quantity of shares
P = Price per share
n = Number of purchases

The Stock Market Average Calculator calculates the average price of a stock over a specified period by summing the closing prices for each day and dividing by the number of days. For example, if a stock’s closing prices over 5 days are $10, $12, $11, $13, and $14, the average is ($10 + $12 + $11 + $13 + $14) ÷ 5 = $12. Enter your stock prices to get the average instantly.

A moving average in stock trading is the average price of a stock over a specific number of days, updated daily to smooth out price fluctuations and identify trends. For example, a 10-day moving average takes the average of the last 10 days’ closing prices. Our calculator can help you compute this average to analyze stock performance.

Calculating a stock average helps investors identify trends, reduce the impact of short-term volatility, and make informed decisions.
