Investment Return Calculator

Q: How does the Investment Return Calculator work?

It pulls daily historical adjusted price data from reliable sources and calculates the difference between your investment date and sell date. The result shows your profit or loss in both dollar and percentage terms.

Q: Does the calculator include fees or taxes?

No. The calculator shows pure price performance. Transaction fees, exchange spreads, and taxes are not included. You can adjust your results manually to reflect these costs.

Q: Can I use the calculator for future dates?

The tool only works with historical adjusted price data. It cannot predict future prices but can backtest any past investment scenario up to today's date.

Q: Why are you using adjusted price data?

We use adjusted prices because they show the real return of an investment by factoring in things like dividends and stock splits. For example, if you bought a stock at $100 and it paid a $5 dividend, the market price might drop to $95, but your total value is still $100, and the adjusted price reflects that. The same goes for stock splits, where your shares increase but the price per share drops; adjusted prices smooth this out so your ROI isn't misleading.
