Stock Profit Calculator

Formula Guide

Gross profit is the difference between the buy and sell values of the position. Net profit is gross profit minus the fees you enter. Return percentage is calculated from the net result relative to your invested capital.

How to Read the Result

A trade can look fine at first glance and still disappoint after costs. That is why the net number matters more than the headline gain, especially when the move is small.

What’s Not Included

Taxes, slippage, spread changes, partial fills, and exchange-rate effects.

Before placing a sell order

Before placing a sell order.

Compare two exit prices

When comparing two possible exit prices.

Check the fee drag

When checking whether a trade still meets your minimum return target after fees.

Review both upside and downside

When reviewing both profit and loss scenarios.

Checking whether a target exit still works after fees

You already know your target sell price, but want to confirm whether the trade is still worthwhile once execution costs are included.

This is useful when a price move looks attractive on paper but the actual net result may be much smaller after costs.

Comparing two exit plans for the same position

You want to compare a faster, smaller gain against a later, larger gain and see which one gives the better net return.

Change only the target sell price and keep the rest constant. The result panel makes it easier to compare reward versus friction without guessing.
