How This Calculator Works

The average buy price (also called volume-weighted average price, VWAP) is the single price that, multiplied by all the tokens you hold, equals the total amount you paid — including fees. It is what you should use whenever anyone asks "what's your entry?"

Mathematically, weighted average price = total amount invested ÷ total quantity acquired. We treat "amount invested" as the full cash you sent, including exchange fees, and include the fee row so the resulting break-even price accounts for them.

Example

Buy 0.5 BTC at $20,000 ($10,000 invested, 0.10% fee). Buy another 0.25 BTC at $30,000 ($7,500 invested, 0.10% fee). Total invested: $17,500 + fees ≈ $17,535; total BTC: 0.75; weighted average ≈ $23,380 per BTC. The break-even price — the price at which selling would recover cost and fees — is also ≈ $23,380 per BTC when the fees are tiny, and slightly higher otherwise.

Important Notes

  • Different exchanges have different fee structures; if you use a fee tier, set the fee % per row accordingly.
  • For tax reporting, most jurisdictions allow you to add acquisition fees to your cost basis, just as this calculator does.
  • This calculator does not model token splits, airdrops, or staking distributions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Simple average treats each price equally. Weighted average weighs each price by the amount bought, which is what matters for your real entry.
Yes. Including fees in the cost basis makes the weighted average reflect what you actually paid, and improves the break-even accuracy.
The calculator only handles buys. Airdrops and staking rewards increase your token count without new buy cost; consider tracking them separately.
