Net profit is total proceeds (sale plus dividends, minus the sell fee) less total cost (purchase plus the buy fee). The break-even price recovers your cost and both fees.

About Stock Profit Calculator

The stock profit calculator computes the net result of a trade from your buy and sell prices per share, the number of shares, and the fees on each side. You can also add dividends received, which count toward your proceeds.

Net profit is total proceeds — the sale value plus dividends, minus the sell fee — less total cost, which is the purchase value plus the buy fee. The tool also reports your return on investment and the break-even sell price: the price per share that exactly recovers your cost and both fees.

Check it before selling to see whether a position is genuinely profitable after commissions, or afterward to verify your broker’s numbers. It is free, browser-based, and provides estimates only — not investment advice.

Frequently asked questions

Total proceeds minus total cost. Proceeds are shares × sell price, plus dividends, minus the sell fee; cost is shares × buy price plus the buy fee. A negative result is shown as a net loss.

The per-share price at which the sale exactly recovers your purchase cost and both fees, leaving zero profit. Selling above it is profitable; below it, the trade loses money even if the price rose.

Flat fees weigh more heavily on small positions. A $10 round-trip fee is 2% of a $500 trade but only 0.1% of a $10,000 one — the break-even price makes that visible.

Net profit divided by total cost, expressed as a percentage. It measures the return on the money you actually put into the trade, fees included.

No. Capital gains tax and dividend tax vary by country and holding period. Results are estimates for information only, not financial or tax advice.
