Bonus share calculator
Holding 150 shares in a 1:2 bonus gives you 75 bonus shares. Enter your shares, the bonus ratio and the price before the record date.
Results update as you type. Nothing you enter is stored.
How it works
A 1:2 bonus means one new share for every two you hold. The price adjusts down so that the holding's value stays the same on the ex-date; after that the market sets the price.
Formula
Bonus shares = floor(shares x bonus / held); price after = price x shares / (shares + bonus shares)
Frequently asked questions
How are bonus shares calculated?
Multiply your shares by the bonus ratio; fractions are usually not issued as shares.
Do bonus shares increase my wealth?
Not on the ex-date; the price adjusts so the total value is the same.
When do bonus shares reach my demat?
After the record date, on the date in the company's announcement.
