Accurate profit calculation requires accounting for both the initial investment and all associated costs, such as brokerage fees or commissions.
Core Formulas
1. Total Investment Cost = (Shares × Buy Price) + Commission
2. Total Sales Proceeds = (Shares × Sell Price)
3. Net Profit/Loss = Total Sales Proceeds - Total Investment Cost
4. Percentage Return (%) = ( (Net Profit/Loss) / Total Investment Cost ) × 100
Understanding the percentage return is crucial for comparing the trade's performance against market benchmarks or other investments.
