How to figure out the percentage gain of your stock -----
Step 1
Write down the price at which you bought the stock, then write down its current price. As an example, suppose you bought a stock at $46.50 per share and the stock is currently worth $77.30. -----
Step 2
Subtract the price you bought the stock at from its current price. For the example, $77.30 minus $46.50 gives you a gain of $30.80. -----
Step 3
Divide the amount of the stock price gain by the purchase price. Multiply the result by 100 to get a percentage. In the example, $30.80 divided by $46.50 equals 0.662. Multiply times 100 for a price gain of 66.2 percent.
