1. What is Share Price Increase?

Share price increase represents the change in value of a stock or security between two points in time. It shows how much the price has risen from the old price to the new price.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• New Share Price — Current or recent price of the share
• Old Share Price — Previous price of the share for comparison

Explanation: The calculation shows the absolute change in share price, which can be positive (increase) or negative (decrease).

3. Importance of Tracking Share Price Changes

Details: Monitoring share price increases helps investors assess performance, make buy/sell decisions, and evaluate investment strategies over time.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter both share prices in the same currency. The calculator will show the difference between the new and old prices.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What does a negative result mean?
A: A negative result indicates the share price has decreased rather than increased.

Q2: Should I use closing prices or intraday prices?
A: For consistent comparisons, use closing prices from the same exchange.

Q3: How often should I track share price changes?
A: Frequency depends on your investment strategy - daily for traders, weekly/monthly for long-term investors.

Q4: Does this account for dividends or splits?
A: No, this is a simple price difference. For total return, you would need to include dividends and adjust for splits.

Q5: Can I calculate percentage increase with this?
A: This shows absolute increase. For percentage change, divide the increase by the old price and multiply by 100.
