Questions, answered
How do you calculate the profit on a stock?
Take what the sale brought in, minus the commission on the sale, and subtract what you paid, plus the commission on the purchase. For 100 shares bought at 50 with a 10 commission and sold at 60 with a 10 commission, that is 5,990 minus 5,010: a profit of 980.
How is the percentage return worked out?
The profit divided by everything you paid, commission included. In the example above, 980 divided by 5,010 is a 19.6% return.
What is the break-even price?
The price you have to sell at to get back everything you paid, both commissions included. Sell below it and the trade is a loss, even if the share price went up a little.
Are dividends included?
When you fill the prices in from the stock and the dates, the dividends paid while you held it are added on top of the price gain and shown on their own line. If you type your own prices, only the price gain is counted.
Why is the filled-in buy price lower than what I paid?
Because the stock has split since. Past prices are adjusted to compare with today's shares: after a 4-for-1 split, a share bought at 400 shows as 100, and you hold four times as many shares. Enter your shares as you hold them today and the profit comes out the same.
How is the yearly return calculated?
When the dates are known and you held for a year or more, the total return, dividends included, is turned into the steady yearly rate that would have produced it. It is not shown for shorter holdings, where stretching a few months into a yearly figure gives a misleading number.
Is the profit before or after tax?
Before tax. What you owe on it depends on where you live and how long you held the shares.
