% Percentage Calculator

Investment Return Calculator

The headline gross return is rarely what you keep. Subtract fees and inflation for the real figure.

Enter values above to calculate.

Updated May 2026, using HMRC 2026/27 rates and current ONS / gov.uk figures.

Type your start and end values to get the percentage gain. For real return, subtract CPI; for net of fees, subtract OCF + platform fee.

Worked examples
£10,000 to £14,000 over 5 years = 40% gross. Annualised: 7.0%.
That 7% − 0.5% fees = 6.5%. − 3% CPI = 3.5% real return.
