Stock Return Calculator

Total and annualised return on a stock trade, including dividends.

Total vs annualised return

Total return is your overall percentage gain including dividends. Annualised return (CAGR) expresses it as a per-year rate so you can compare trades of different lengths fairly.

Dividends count

Ignoring dividends understates your real return, especially for high-yield stocks held for years. This tool folds them into both figures.
