How to Use the Stock Profit/Loss Calculator
Success in the stock market isn't just about picking the right stock; it's about understanding your actual take-home profit. This calculator helps you determine your net earnings after accounting for hidden costs like brokerage and taxes.
1. Entry Details
Enter your Buy Price (the price you paid per share) and the Quantity of shares you purchased.
2. Exit Details
Input your Sell Price. The calculator will instantly show if you are in a "Gross Profit" or "Gross Loss" position.
3. Deductions
Add Brokerage Fees and your Tax Rate (Capital Gains Tax) to see your final Net Profit.
Understanding Gross Profit vs. Net Profit
Many beginner traders make the mistake of looking only at the "Gross Profit." However, your actual bank balance depends on the Net Profit.
- Gross Profit: (Selling Price - Buying Price) × Quantity.
- Net Profit: Gross Profit - (Brokerage + Commissions + STT + Capital Gains Tax).
Pro Tip: Watch the Fees!
Even a small brokerage fee of 0.05% can eat into your profits. Always calculate your net ROI before entering a trade.
