Stock return calculator
See your total return and your return per year, dividends included.
How to use it

- Type how many years you have held it.
- Add the dividends you got, if any.
Total return vs yearly return
A 50% gain over 1 year is far better than 50% over 5 years. CAGR, the compound annual growth rate, turns any gain into a return per year, so you can compare fairly.
FormulaCAGR = (End value / Start value)^(1 / Years) - 1
Do not forget dividends
Many NEPSE stocks pay a good part of their return as dividends. Adding them gives a truer picture.
