📘 How to Use the Stock Total Return Calculator

This calculator helps you estimate the total return on a stock investment, including both price appreciation and dividends received.

Steps:

• Enter the price per share at the time of purchase.
• Enter the price per share at the time of sale or current price.
• Enter the number of shares owned.
• Enter the total dividends received (optional).
• Click “Calculate” to view your gain, total return %, and total return including dividends.

Example: If you bought 100 shares at $20, sold at $30, and received $2/share in dividends:
- Capital Gain = $1,000
- Dividends = $200
- Total Return = $1,200 (60%)
