How the figures are worked out

  • Amount paid = shares allotted × issue price.
  • Sale value = shares × sale price.
  • Gain or loss before charges = sale value − amount paid, and as a % of the amount paid.
  • Gain or loss = sale value − amount paid − brokerage.
  • Break-even sale price: the price per share at which the sale just covers the amount paid and the charges.

Frequently asked questions

How is the return on IPO shares worked out?

Multiply the shares allotted by the issue price to get the amount paid, and by the sale price to get the sale value. The difference is the gain or loss before charges. Take away the selling charges and any capital-gains tax to get the net figure.

Are taxes included?

No. Tax on gains depends on where you live and how long you held the shares, so the result is before tax. Add your broker's fee to include it.

Does the calculator predict listing prices?

No. It uses the listing-day prices recorded after an IPO lists, or a price you type in, and only does the arithmetic.
