Explanation

The calculator estimates change as ending value minus starting value minus net contributions, divided by starting value.

How it works

No market-price service is used. Enter every number yourself.

Example

$10,000 starting value, $11,200 ending value, and $500 net contributions = 7.00%.

Limitations

  • Uses the values you enter.
  • Not investment advice.
  • Does not account for taxes, timing, dividends, fees, or cash flows beyond one net contribution field.
