Formula and Logic
Total Cost = Shares × Purchase Price per Share. Current Value = Shares × Current Price per Share. Gain/Loss = Current Value − Total Cost. Gain/Loss Percentage = (Gain/Loss / Total Cost) × 100. Risk Level is determined by the portfolio type selection: Conservative (Low), Moderate (Balanced), or Aggressive (High Growth).

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I analyze multiple stocks at once?
Currently, the tool focuses on one stock at a time. For multiple holdings, calculate each separately and sum the results manually for a total portfolio view.
What if my input prices are in a different currency?
This tool assumes USD. Convert foreign currencies to USD before input for accurate results. Always check exchange rates for real-world accuracy.
How accurate are the risk level assessments?
Risk levels are based on your portfolio type selection and are general estimates. For precise risk analysis, consider professional tools or advisor input.
Additional Guidance
For deeper investment analysis, combine this tool with other metrics like dividend yield or P/E ratio. Regularly update inputs to reflect market changes. Remember that past performance does not guarantee future results, and investing involves risk of loss.
