How to Use This Stock Returns Calculator

This stock returns calculator helps you analyze the complete performance of your stock investments by calculating both capital appreciation and dividend returns. Enter the initial and final stock prices, number of shares, holding period, and any dividends received to get comprehensive return metrics. The calculator provides total return, annualized return, and separates capital gains from dividend income to give you a clear picture of your investment performance.

Understanding these metrics is crucial for evaluating investment decisions, comparing different stocks, and planning your portfolio strategy. Use the calculator to analyze past performance, project future scenarios, or compare multiple investment options. The annualized return helps you understand the compound growth rate of your investment, while separating capital gains from dividends helps you understand the sources of your returns and plan for tax implications.
