When I use them they report an interest rate and then multiply the interest rate times the shares...

You're right, the only way to do it is to do the math and divide the total cash by the interest rate and that's the number of shares. Since the int. rate shouldn't fluctuate much, the total cash should stay around the same. For Cash balances that change a lot, it's probably not worth the effort.

On a Yahoo Finance portfolio it assumes a $1.00 par value for FSLXX so the cash is equal to the number of shares regardless of the interest rate.
