Absolute profit/loss shows the actual dollar amount gained or lost. Percentage returns show the gain/loss as a percentage of your initial investment, making it easier to compare investments of different sizes. A $1,000 profit on a $10,000 investment is 10% return, while the same $1,000 profit on a $5,000 investment is 20% return.
Transaction costs (brokerage fees, commissions, taxes) can significantly impact net returns, especially for small investments or frequent trading. A 2% brokerage fee on a trade with 5% gross returns reduces your net returns to just 3%. Always calculate returns after all costs for accurate performance measurement.
Annualized returns convert returns from any holding period to an equivalent annual rate, making it possible to compare investments with different timeframes. A 10% return over 6 months annualizes to 21%, while the same 10% over 2 years annualizes to 4.88%. This helps evaluate performance consistency.
For stock splits, adjust your purchase price and number of shares accordingly. For dividends, include them as additional returns when calculating total performance. Our calculator can handle these adjustments to provide accurate total return calculations including both price appreciation and dividend income.
