How to Use the Stock Calculator
Enter the number of shares, buy and sell prices, any dividends received, and trading commissions. The calculator shows your total profit/loss, return percentage, and breakdown of capital gains and dividend income.
Stock Return Formula
Total Cost = (Buy Price × Shares) + Buy Commission
Total Proceeds = (Sell Price × Shares) - Sell Commission
Capital Gain = Total Proceeds - Total Cost
Total Profit = Capital Gain + Dividends
Return % = (Total Profit ÷ Total Cost) × 100
Historical Context: S&P 500 has returned approximately 10% annually over the long term, but individual years vary widely. Stay invested long-term to ride out volatility.
