Using the Crypto Average Buy Price Calculator
Enter your inputs above and compare the result with the worked example. Review the assumptions before applying it to a trade, portfolio or tax return.
Worked example
Use the example inputs below to reproduce this result. These are the form's starting values, not recommended targets. Changing your inputs updates your result above; this worked example stays fixed for comparison. Results are rounded for display.
Example inputs
- Currency (use for all money amounts)
- USD
- One buy per line: coins, unit price, fee
- 1,100,1 2,130,2
Example result
- Average cost per coin (USD)
- 121
- Total cost (USD)
- 363
- Total coins
- 3
Method and assumptions
Average cost = Σ(coins × price + fee) ÷ Σ(coins). Use one asset and one currency across all rows. A weighted average is a tracking measure and may differ from the basis required for tax reporting.
How to interpret crypto estimates
Use prices and costs in the same currency. Market observations are venue-specific. Hypothetical returns are scenarios, and historical observations do not predict future prices. These tools provide educational estimates and do not constitute investment or tax advice.
Common question
Why is the average different from the mean of my prices?
A purchase with more coins contributes more to the average, and the purchase fees also increase your total cost.
