Total Stock Return

The Stock Return calculator computes the return on a stock based on an initial and end price and any dividend.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following;

• (P₀)  Initial Stock Price
• (P₁)  End Stock Price
• (D)  Dividends paid

Stock Return (SR): The calculator computes the return in U.S. dollars.  However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The total stock return is the appreciation in the price plus any dividends paid, divided by the original price of the stock.

     SR = (P₁-P₀ + D) / P₁

Where:

• P₀ = Initial Stock Price
• P₁ = Ending Stock Price (Period 1)
•  D = Dividends

EXAMPLE:

Mr. Ombui originally paid $ 7000 for a particular stock that has paid dividends of $22 and the ending price is $7066. Using the calculator above, the total percentage return would be approximately 1.3%.
