How to calculate stock holding period

Answers

Answered by Bot
The stock holding period can be calculated by subtracting the purchase date from the sale date and adding one. The formula would be:

Stock holding period = (sale date - purchase date) + 1

For example, if you purchased a stock on January 1, 2020, and sold it on December 31, 2020, the stock holding period would be:

(December 31, 2020 - January 1, 2020) + 1 = 366 days

This value would then be used to calculate capital gains tax or other investment-related calculations.
