Calculate Dollars/Shares

Using an amount in dollars or another currency, and the most recent price for the security, you can estimate the corresponding quantity of shares. Inversely, you can enter a number of shares and use the most recent price for the security to estimate the cost for those shares in the trading currency.

For international securities, the calculation is performed in the currency of the country where the security is traded. For example, for IBM, the drop-down list displays Dollars (USD) and the calculation is done in U.S. dollars; for IBM:DE, the button displays Euros (EUR) and the calculation is done in Euros.

  1. At the bottom of the Quote panel, enter the dollar amount or the number of shares.
  2. Choose the type of calculation to perform:

    - Dollars (USD) (Default; or other currency) Dollars to shares calculation.
    - Shares Shares to dollars conversion.

    The calculator displays an estimated quantity or cost calculated from a quote as-of the last trade time, and does not account for commissions, fees, or other expenses. The share price might be different at the actual time of execution.

Convert Currency

For a foreign currency quote, you can display the conversion of an amount to U.S. dollars, or vice-versa.

NAV Price The most recent net asset value (NAV) price per share for a mutual fund. For institutional prime and institutional municipal money market funds, the NAV price is required to float. This means that instead of shares being priced at $1.00, the funds are required to price and transact at a NAV that fluctuates (using four-decimal precision), a process known as basis-point rounding. Floating NAV prices are updated intraday (at 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM ET) to allow for intraday settlements. The 3:00 PM NAV is considered the closing NAV for the day. For retail and government money market funds, the daily NAV remains an end-of-day only fixed value of $1.00.
Net Change The difference between the current price and the closing price from the previous trading day.
Percent Change The percent change between the current price and the closing price from the previous trading day.
