How the Stock Profit Calculator Works

Enter how much you paid per share and how many shares you own. Then choose one of three simulation modes: set a target sell price to see your profit, enter a dollar profit goal to find the required sell price, or enter a target return percentage to calculate both.

This is especially useful when planning exits on stocks, ETFs, or crypto — for example, figuring out what price AAPL needs to hit for a 20% gain on 50 shares, or how much you earn selling at your target price.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate stock profit?
Stock profit equals total sale proceeds minus total purchase cost. Formula: Profit = (Sell Price × Shares) − (Buy Price × Shares). Return % = (Profit ÷ Total Cost) × 100.
What is a target sell price?
A target sell price is the price per share you plan to sell at. Enter your buy price, number of shares, and target sell price to see your total profit and percentage return before placing a trade.
Does this calculator include trading fees or taxes?
No. This tool shows gross profit before commissions, SEC fees, and capital gains taxes. Always subtract your broker fees and consult a tax professional for after-tax returns.
Can I use this for crypto and ETFs?
Yes. The math works the same for stocks, ETFs, REITs, and crypto. Enter the asset ticker for reference, your entry price, quantity, and either a target price, dollar profit goal, or return percentage.
