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.

Questions

What is CAGR?

Compound annual growth rate. It is the steady yearly return that would turn your start value into your end value.

How do I calculate return on a stock?

Take today's price plus dividends, minus what you paid, and divide by what you paid. This calculator also gives the yearly rate.

Are fees and tax included?

No. This shows the plain return. Use the share calculator to see the cash you keep after a sale.
