Steps
- Open the Stock Investment Return Calculator.
- Enter buy price, amount, and current price (and dates if you want CAGR).
- Click + dividend for each cash dividend you want to include.
- Enter ₹ per share and the date (dividends use the share count as of that point in the timeline).
- Compare Price P/L with Total return (price + dividends) on the result card.
If you only need yield from today’s price and annual DPS, use the Dividend Yield Calculator.
