Fractional Shares Profit (FSP) Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Fractional Shares Profit (FSP) is:

\[ FSP = (SSP - SPP) \times \frac{F}{100} \]

Where:

$ FSP $ is the Fractional Shares Profit (\$)
$ SSP $ is the share selling price (\$)
$ SPP $ is the share purchase price (\$)
$ F $ is the fractional percentage of share owned (\%)

What is Fractional Shares Profit?

Fractional Shares Profit (FSP) refers to the profit made from owning and selling a fraction of a share of stock. It is calculated by taking the difference between the selling price and the purchase price of the share, and then multiplying by the fractional percentage of the share owned. This allows investors to determine their profit from fractional shares, which are portions of a whole share.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Share Selling Price (SSP): $150
Share Purchase Price (SPP): $100
Fractional Percentage of Share Owned (F): 25%

Step 1: Calculate the Fractional Shares Profit (FSP):

\[ FSP = (150 - 100) \times \frac{25}{100} = 50 \times 0.25 = 12.5 \text{ dollars} \]

Therefore, the fractional shares profit is $12.5.
