What is a Stock Profit Calculator?

A stock profit calculator helps you determine your exact gain or loss from a stock trade, accounting for commissions and capital gains tax. This gives you your true net return, not just the raw price difference.

Formula Used

Gross Profit = (Sell Price − Buy Price) × Shares − 2 × Commission Net Profit = Gross Profit × (1 − Tax Rate) Return % = Net Profit / (Buy Price × Shares) × 100

Example Calculation

Example — US — Buy $150, Sell $200, 100 shares, $10 commission, 20% long-term CGT

Gross = $4,980 | Tax = $996 | Net Profit = $3,984 | Return = 26.6%

Example — India — Buy ₹500, Sell ₹700, 50 shares, LTCG 10% above ₹1L

Gross = ₹10,000 | Tax = ₹0 (under exemption) | Net = ₹10,000 | Return = 40%

Example — United Kingdom

200 shares: buy £3.50, sell £5.80, £10 commission, 20% CGT (above £6K exempt). Gross: £450 | Within CGT allowance → Tax: £0 | Net profit: £450 | ROI: 64.3%

Why Use This Calculator?

Many traders focus only on raw price change and forget to account for commissions and taxes, which can significantly reduce returns. On large trades, capital gains tax can consume 15–30% of your gains. This calculator shows your real after-tax return.

What is the difference between short-term and long-term capital gains?▾

In the US: Short-term gains (held <1 year) are taxed as ordinary income (10–37%). Long-term gains (held 1+ years) are taxed at 0%, 15%, or 20% based on income.

How do I calculate cost basis?▾

Cost basis = Purchase price × shares + commissions paid. If you bought multiple lots at different prices, use FIFO, LIFO, or specific ID method.

Do I pay tax on unrealized gains?▾

Generally, no. Most countries tax capital gains only when you sell. Some countries have 'mark-to-market' rules for traders.

💡 Tip: Hold stocks for 1+ year to qualify for long-term capital gains rates, potentially saving 10–20% on your tax bill.
