Cost basis plus

Use the Cost Basis Calculator in Checkpoint
Edge

The Cost Basis Calculator automatically calculates the cost basis and number of shares held for requested securities. It covers complex factors like mergers, spin-offs, voluntary events, and dividend reinvestments.
  • The calculator includes information on stock dividends and mutual fund distributions back to 1971.
  • DRIP information for stocks and mutual funds uses an approximate reinvestment rate equal to the close price on the ex-dividend date, and may not match paying agent data.
  • Historical pricing data is available back to 1968.
