How much have your stock and ETF investments really earned, after every purchase, sale, dividend, split and commission? And what is your annualized return, so you can tell whether investing beat leaving the money in the bank? Total Return answers both. Like other portfolio trackers, it shows what your holdings are worth today. It also calculates your total return, the bottom line of your investing: realized and unrealized gains and losses, plus dividends, minus commissions. And it shows your annualized rate of return (CAGR) for each position, each portfolio and overall. Enter your trades once and see how you've done over the years. Add your own free Tiingo API key and Total Return keeps quotes up to date, so every time you open the app you see your total return, how much it changed today and what your holdings are worth. Stop guessing. Know your Total Return.
