How to Compute Stock Returns and Capital Gains

Our Stock Return Calculator estimates your total capital gains and profits. Calculating returns from stock trading is not limited to subtracting buy price from sell price. A comprehensive calculation accounts for: 1. **Purchase Costs**: Buy price times number of shares, plus buy brokerage. 2. **Capital Gains**: Sell price minus buy price, times quantity. 3. **Dividends**: Dividends paid by the corporation during the holding duration. 4. **Selling Costs**: Sell brokerage and taxes.
