How to Use This Calculator

Our stock profit calculator is designed to help you determine your exact net profit or loss from a stock trade. Simply enter your buy and sell prices, the number of shares, and any applicable fees such as commissions or stamp duty.

If you received dividends during your holding period, include them to see your total return. The calculator updates in real-time, providing you with your gross profit, net profit, and return on investment (ROI).

Formula

The stock profit formula is straightforward:
Net Profit = Total Revenue - Total Investment - Fees + Dividends
Where: Total Revenue = (Sell Price Γ— Shares) - Sell Commission, and Total Investment = (Buy Price Γ— Shares) + Buy Commission.

Example

Imagine you buy 100 shares at $50 each, paying a $5 commission. Your total investment is $5,005. You sell them at $60 each, paying another $5 commission, making your revenue $5,995. Your net profit is $5,995 - $5,005 = $990.

Annualized return (or CAGR) represents the geometric average amount of money earned by an investment each year over a given time period. It shows what your return would be if it were compounded annually.
Commissions are broker fees charged when you buy or sell a stock. They are added to your total investment when buying, and subtracted from your total revenue when selling.
Stamp duty is a transaction tax levied on stock purchases in certain jurisdictions. It is calculated as a percentage of the transaction value and adds to your total costs.
