Spreadsheet Profits Calculator (I think I got all the parentheses correctly!) Gains Less Commissions, Margin Interest, Taxes, and Inflation Set up a spreadsheet with headings for: [A] # of Shares = ( one row for each lot purchased) [B] Cost per share = (net) [C] Date of Purchase [D] Current Price [E] Cost Basis = (Cost per share[B1] X number of shares[A1]) [F] Current Value = (number of shares[A1] X Current Price[D1]) [G] Gain/(Loss) = (Current Value[F1] – Cost Basis[E1]) [H] % Gain/(loss) = (Gain/(Loss)[G1] / Cost Basis[E1]) [I] Gain Less Commission, margin, interest, taxes and inflation = (Gain or Loss[G1]) – ((Current Value[F1] X Commission rate) – (Gain or Loss[G1] X Tax Rate)) – ((Days since Purchase) X ((Inflation Rate) X (Cost Basis[E1])) / 360)) + ((Days since Purchase) X ((Margin Debt[L1]) X (Margin Interest Rate[M1])) X (% of Portfolio represented by Purchase[K1]))/360)) [J] % Gain/Loss Less… = (([H1]) / Cost Basis[E1]) [K] % of Portfolio = (Current Price[D1] / Value of Portfolio) [L] Margin Debt [M] Margin Interest Rate For “Days Since Purchase” use: (DAYS360(Purchase date[C1],TODAY()) It may be helpful to set up headings for “Value of Portfolio” , “Inflation Rate”, “Commission Rate”, and “Tax Rate” and set up links where needed.
