Average down calculator

When the price has dropped and you are thinking of adding to average down, the first thing to work out is: after this add, where does my new average price land, and how far does the price need to climb to break even? This averaging-down calculator uses the most straightforward weighted average to figure it out. Enter the amount and average price of your current holding, the amount and price of this add, and a current price, and it gives you the new average after adding, the total holdings and value, and the P&L amount and percent at the current price. A reminder: averaging down only pulls your average cost lower, it does not mean you are sure to make it back; if the price keeps falling, adding also enlarges the loss. This tool is an estimate, not a prediction, and not investment advice (checked as of 2026-06).

How to use it

Under Current holding, enter how many coins you hold now and your original average buy price. If you bought across several orders, use the average price shown in your account.
Under This add, enter how many more you plan to buy and at what price. The new average in the result is the weighted average of the two combined.
Enter the current price to see your P&L. New average = (old amount × old avg + add amount × add price) ÷ total amount; that is also your breakeven price, the level the price has to climb back to before you are no longer down. See clearly how much it needs to rise to break even, then decide whether to add.

Common questions

How is the averaged cost worked out?

It is a weighted average: add up the total spent across both buys and divide by the total amount held. For example, 1 coin bought at 60000 plus 1 more at 40000 is 100000 total spent over 2 coins, so the new average is 50000. The lower the add price and the more you add, the harder it pulls the average down. This tool works it out live, no need to write out the formula by hand.

Does averaging down mean a sure profit?

No. Averaging down only lowers your breakeven price; it doesn't change the market itself. If the price keeps falling, the part you added is losing too, and your total loss actually grows. Adding is a move that needs discipline and capital planning, not a mindless buy-more-as-it-drops reflex. This tool helps you see the numbers clearly, but whether to buy and how much depends on your risk tolerance, and it is not investment advice.

Is the P&L here accurate?

P&L = (current price − new average) × total amount, which is the unrealized P&L based on the current price you entered; nothing is realized until you sell. A real account also has fees, different batch costs, funding, and more. Go by the live market for the current price, and remember every value in this tool is an estimate, not a prediction.

This tool uses the weighted-average method to estimate the new average after adding, total holdings, and unrealized P&L; every value is an estimate from the assumptions you enter, not a prediction, and not investment advice. Averaging down lowers your average buy price but cannot guarantee a profit, and adding while the price keeps falling enlarges the loss. Go by the live market and trading page for the current price and actual fills. Crypto is highly volatile and the risk is yours. Checked: 2026-06.
