About the Stock Calculator (Gain/Loss)

This calculator finds your total return on a stock position, combining both the price change and any dividend income received while you held the shares.

Formula: Gain/Loss = [(Current Price − Purchase Price) × Shares] + Dividends Received · Return % = (Gain/Loss ÷ Cost Basis) × 100

Including dividends gives a more complete "total return" picture than looking at price appreciation alone — for dividend-paying stocks, reinvested income can make up a substantial share of overall long-term returns.
