Frequently Asked Questions
How is stock profit calculated?
Stock profit is calculated as: (Sell Price × Shares) - (Buy Price × Shares) - Total Fees. The percentage return is calculated by dividing the profit by your total cost including fees.
What is the break-even price?
The break-even price is the minimum price you need to sell your shares at to recover your total investment, including all buying and selling fees. At this price, you have zero profit and zero loss.
Should I include dividends in my profit calculation?
This calculator focuses on capital gains only. If you received dividends, add them to your profit separately. Total return = Capital Gains + Dividends Received.
How do taxes affect my stock profits?
In the US, short-term gains (held <1 year) are taxed as ordinary income. Long-term gains (held >1 year) have preferential rates of 0%, 15%, or 20% depending on income. Consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
