Short Selling Return Calculator
Short Selling Return: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers short price (currency), cover price (currency) and shares. Stub page. Not published yet.
Short Selling Return Calculator is a planned calculator in the finance section of Super Calculator, covering investing and portfolio.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: short price (currency), cover price (currency), shares, borrow rate (%), days held, dividends paid (currency) and margin requirement (%).
Outputs: net profit or loss (currency), return on margin (%), borrow cost (currency) and buy in risk flag.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Profit equals proceeds at the short price less the cost to cover, less borrow fees accrued daily on the position value and any dividends paid to the lender. Loss is unbounded above, which is the structural asymmetry against a long position.
