The **average price** shows how much, on average, you paid for each unit of an asset in your Picnic portfolio. It automatically changes whenever there is a **purchase**.

## How It's Calculated

The system adds up all the invested value (including **contributions and deposits**) and divides it by the total number of units you own of the asset.

Average price=Total invested/Number of units

With each new transaction, the system recalculates the average price based on the total invested value and the total quantity in relation to each transaction.​

## Quick Example

-   You bought **10 ETH** at **$200 each** → total **$2,000**
    
-   Then, you bought **5 ETH** at **$250 each** → total accumulated **$3,250 / 15 = $216.67** per ETH
    

## Where to See on Picnic

On the **Investments** screen, you can track:

-   Your **average price**
    
-   **Contributions**
    
-   The Total Return
    

## Important

BRL is not a base currency in the decentralized ecosystem. Therefore, the calculation should be done using USDC or similar.
