Frequently Asked Questions
Net profit = (Sell Price × Shares) - (Buy Price × Shares) - (Total Commission). Total commission is the sum of buy and sell commissions, each calculated as (Price × Shares × Commission%).
The commission percentage is the fee charged by your broker for each trade (buy and sell). It is applied to the total value of the transaction.
This calculator assumes a standard buy-then-sell transaction. For short selling (sell first, buy later), you can enter the sell price as buy price and vice versa, but the interpretation of profit may differ.
