Calculate stock profit

How to use the stock profit calculator

Stock profit formula

Cost = buy × shares + fees · Proceeds = sell × shares − fees · Profit = proceeds − cost

Fees cut profit both ways: they raise the cost and lower the proceeds.

Stock profit example

You buy 100 shares at €50 and sell at €65, with a €10 fee on each trade: €5,010 cost, €6,490 proceeds and a €1,480 profit (29.54%).
