Stock profit calculator (with fees)
The stock went up. So why did the account go down? Fees come out twice. Enter your shares, prices and fees and see what you really made or lost, and the exact sell price that gets you to even.
How it works: total cost = shares × buy price + the buy fee. You get back = shares × sell price − the sell fee + any dividends. Profit or loss = what you get back − total cost. The percent is that result ÷ total cost. Break-even sell price = (shares × buy price + both fees − dividends) ÷ shares, rounded up to the cent. Taxes are left out.
The price went up, so why am I down?
Because fees come out twice: once to buy and once to sell. On a small trade, two fees can eat the whole move. The stock has to clear the break-even price, not just your buy price, before you make a cent. That's why the break-even line is the most useful number here. Work it out before you buy, not after. To see how far a price has moved in percent, use the percent change calculator.
Dividends and taxes
Dividends paid while you held the shares count toward your result, so add them in. Taxes don't show here, because they depend on where you live and how long you held. For the US basics, see do you pay taxes on trading profits. Keep each trade's fees and dividends in one place with my free trading templates.
