Frequently Asked Questions
How is stock profit calculated?+
Profit = (Sell Price × Shares - Sell Commission) - (Buy Price × Shares + Buy Commission). Buy 100 shares at $150 and sell at $195: ($19,500) - ($15,000) = $4,500 profit.
What about taxes on stock profits?+
Short-term gains (held <1 year) are taxed as ordinary income (up to 37%). Long-term gains (held >1 year) get preferential rates: 0%, 15%, or 20% depending on income. This calculator shows pre-tax profit.
What is break-even price?+
The price per share you need to sell at to recover your total cost (including commissions). If you buy 100 shares at $150 with $10 commission, break-even = $15,010/100 = $150.10.
