Stock Profit Calculator

Calculate profit or loss, return on investment and break-even price for a stock trade including commissions and tax.

Formula

Profit = (Shares × Sell price − Sell commission) − (Shares × Buy price + Buy commission). ROI = Net profit ÷ Total cost.

About this calculator

Enter prices in the currency the share trades in, on any exchange (NYSE, NASDAQ, LSE, NSE, PSX and others). Commissions and taxes differ by broker and country, so enter your own figures. To compare trades in different currencies, convert the results with the currency converter.

Amounts are shown without a currency symbol, so the calculator works for any currency: enter all values in the same one.

Frequently asked questions

What is the break-even sell price?

It is the price at which sale proceeds, after the selling commission, equal everything you paid including the buying commission. Sell above it to make a profit.

Does it handle short selling?

For a short trade enter the price you sold at as the buy price and the price you bought back at as the sell price, then reverse the sign of the result.
