Target Sell Price Calculator
Work backward to the exit price that hits your profit goal after fees and taxes
Enter your buy price, share count, buy and sell commission rates, and transaction tax rate, and this tool works backward to the exact sell price that hits your target return — or your target dollar profit — on an after-tax basis. Instead of just showing a raw percentage gain on the sticker price, it subtracts your commission on the way in, plus commission and transaction tax on the way out, so the number matches the net proceeds that actually settle in your account. Everything is computed instantly in your browser, and the trade details you enter never leave your device.
🔒 Everything runs 100% in your browser. Your files and input are never uploaded to any server.
How to use
- Enter your buy price and the number of shares you bought.
- Adjust the buy/sell commission rates and the transaction tax rate (%) to match your broker.
- Choose whether your goal is a target return percentage or a target profit amount, then enter the value.
- Check the calculated target sell price along with your net profit and net return, and copy the results if you need them.
FAQ
- Should I use a target return or a target profit amount?
- Pick the target return if you manage your positions in percentage terms, or the target profit amount if you're aiming for a specific dollar figure. Either way, the result is calculated after commissions and taxes are deducted.
- Why doesn't the result match a simple percentage gain on the sell price?
- This calculator solves for your goal using the money you actually receive — after buy commission, sell commission, and transaction tax — so it will differ from the plain (sell − buy) / buy formula.
- Why am I seeing an error message?
- If the sell commission rate and transaction tax rate add up to more than 100%, the sell price becomes mathematically unsolvable and an error appears. Double-check that your inputs are entered as percentages.
