How to Calculate Stock Profit

Profit = shares × sell price − sell fees − (shares × buy price + buy fees)
Return = profit ÷ total cost × 100

Worked Example

Tips

Taxes aren’t included: gains on shares held a year or less are short-term (taxed as ordinary income) and over a year are long-term (lower rates) in the US. Dividends received add to your total return.
