Calculation Method
Basic Profit/Loss Formula
Total Buy Cost = (Share Price × Number of Shares) + Buy Commission
Total Sell Proceeds = (Selling Price × Number of Shares) - Sell Commission
Gross Profit/Loss = Total Sell Proceeds - Total Buy Cost
Net Profit/Loss = Gross Profit/Loss - Capital Gains Tax
ROI Calculation
ROI (%) = (Net Profit ÷ Total Buy Cost) × 100
Price Change (%) = ((Selling Price - Purchase Price) ÷ Purchase Price) × 100
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Capital Gains Tax (CGT)?
Capital Gains Tax is a tax on the profit when you sell an asset that has increased in value. The tax is calculated on the gain you make, not the total amount you receive.
How are commissions calculated?
Commissions can be calculated as either a flat fee ($) or a percentage (%) of the transaction value. Our calculator supports both methods for both buy and sell transactions.
What is ROI?
Return on Investment (ROI) measures the profitability of an investment as a percentage of the initial investment. It takes into account all costs including commissions and taxes.
