Core concept
Convert a profit goal into a target price
If your average price is KRW 50,000 and your target return is 20%, the target price is KRW 60,000. Holding more shares does not change that price, but it increases the profit and total position value at the same return rate.
Calculation methods
Choose the goal that is easier for you to define
Target return
Enter a desired rate such as +20% to see the target price, calculated profit, and target position value. The average price and target return determine the target price.
Target profit amount
Enter a desired profit such as KRW 300,000 to calculate the required target price and return based on your number of shares.
How quantity matters
Quantity plays a different role for each type of goal
With a target return, the target price is the same regardless of quantity. With a target profit amount, spreading the same profit across more shares can reduce the required gain per share and target price. Fractional shares are supported.
Examples
The same average price can support different ways to set a goal

Before using the result
Understand the scope of this price-based calculation
- This is a simple price-based calculation that excludes fees and taxes.
- The target price converts your entered goal into a price; it does not predict a future market price.
- Brokerage results may differ because of fees, taxes, execution history, and display conventions.
Frequently asked questions
How should I enter a target return?
Enter 20 for a +20% target. You can also enter a positive target return above 100%.
Why does a target profit amount require the number of shares?
The calculator divides the target profit by your shares to find the required profit per share. More shares reduce the per-share gain needed for the same total profit.
Are fees and taxes included?
No. This calculator converts a profit goal using only price and quantity.
Can I enter a target profit of zero?
This calculator covers positive profit goals. If your goal is to break even, use the Loss Recovery Calculator.
Is the calculated target price a sell recommendation?
No. It is only a reference value that converts your entered profit goal into a price and does not recommend an investment decision.
