Stock Return Calculator

Track your stock performance with total return, percentage gain/loss and CAGR.

What this calculator does

0,000 invested in Apple in 2014 at $24/share → worth $200K+ by 2024 = +1,900% return.

When to use this calculator

Reach for this tool whenever a financial decision hinges on this type of calculation. Small differences in rate or term become large differences in total cost or return over multi-year horizons — differences that only become visible when you run the actual numbers.

Common mistakes

A frequent error is using annual rates where monthly rates are required (or vice versa). Simply dividing an annual rate by 12 is only an approximation — the correct conversion for compound calculations uses the (1 + r)^(1/12) − 1 formula.

Real-world scenarios

A first-time buyer models three scenarios before making an offer: 10%, 15%, and 20% deposit on a £280,000 property. The calculator shows exactly how the monthly payment and total interest cost change with each deposit level, making the decision visible rather than speculative.
