Stock Split & Cost Basis Adjuster Formula Breakdown

Adjusted Cost Basis = Original Purchase Price / Split Ratio | New Shares = Original Shares ร— Split Ratio
Split Ratio

Corporate division factor (e.g. 10.0 for a 10-for-1 forward split, or 0.1 for a 1-for-10 reverse split).

Adjusted Cost Basis

Pro-rated original purchase price per share used by the IRS to calculate taxable capital gains.

New Share Count

Updated quantity of shares credited to the shareholder's brokerage account.

Market Value & Gain

Real-time position value (New Shares ร— Current Share Price) and cumulative dollar/percentage profit.

How to Calculate Stock Split Calculator Step-by-Step

1

Input original number of shares acquired and original purchase price per share.

2

Select or input corporate split ratio (e.g. 2-for-1, 4-for-1, 10-for-1, or reverse split).

3

Multiply original shares by the split ratio to determine the new total share count.

4

Divide original price by the split ratio to compute the new split-adjusted cost basis per share.

5

Multiply new shares by current market price to display real-time position value and cumulative capital gains.

How to Interpret the Result

Stock splits do not change the fundamental intrinsic value or total dollar value of your holdingโ€”they simply divide the corporate pie into more (or fewer) slices, reducing nominal share price to increase retail accessibility and liquidity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a 10-for-1 stock split work?

In a 10-for-1 split, for every 1 share you owned, you now own 10 shares. If the stock traded at $1,000, each share is now priced at $100. Your total holding value remains identical ($1,000).

What is a reverse stock split?

In a reverse split (e.g. 1-for-10), shares are merged together to increase the nominal stock price. If you owned 10 shares at $1, you now own 1 share at $10. Often used by troubled companies to avoid exchange delisting.

How does a stock split affect dividends?

The dividend per share is divided by the split ratio. If a company paid $4.00 per share and executes a 4-for-1 split, the new dividend is $1.00 per share, keeping total dividend cash flow unchanged.
