Return On Stocks Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Return On Stocks (ROS) is:

\[ ROS = \frac{SP - PP}{PP} \times 100 \]

Where:

$ ROS $ is the return on stocks (%)
$ SP $ is the stock sell price ($)
$ PP $ is the stock purchase price ($)

What is Return On Stocks?

Return on stocks (ROS) is the percentage gain or loss on an investment in stocks. It is calculated by taking the difference between the sell price and the purchase price, dividing by the purchase price, and multiplying by 100. This metric helps investors understand the profitability of their stock investments.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Stock Sell Price (SP) = $150
Stock Purchase Price (PP) = $100

Using the formula to calculate the Return On Stocks:

\[ ROS = \frac{150 - 100}{100} \times 100 = 50\% \]

The Return On Stocks is 50%.
