Lamppoli calculator

Average Down Calculator

Average-down calculations help users understand how an additional buy changes cost basis and recovery price.

How it works

What this page calculates

Calculate how buying more crypto at a lower price changes your average entry and break-even price.

The page is built around a preset scenario so users can understand the output immediately, then move into a full calculator with their own numbers.

Formula

Formula used

Break-even price = total cost / net tokens after fees

Fees, prices, APY and historical values should be reviewed as assumptions. The exact calculation depends on the connected tool and user inputs.

Example

Example calculation

For a simple preset, Lamppoli starts with a clear input set, calculates the main result first, then shows related metrics such as fees, ROI, drawdown, APY or LP vs HODL value depending on the page type.

Use case

When to use this calculator

Use this page when a crypto position is below cost basis or when you want to understand the price required to recover after fees. It is especially useful before averaging down or setting a target exit.

Recovery calculations show the required move, but they do not say whether the move is likely. Liquidity, volatility and position sizing still matter.

Quality note

Assumptions and limitations

Calculations are estimates based on user inputs and do not constitute financial advice.

Lamppoli keeps formulas and assumptions visible so users can understand how the output was produced instead of treating the result as a black box.
