Bonus Share Calculator formula
The entitlement follows the announced bonus ratio. A 1-for-1 issue adds one new share for each eligible share held, subject to the record-date rules.
How to interpret the result
More shares do not create the same proportion of new economic value because the market price normally adjusts when the issue takes effect.
Worked example
A 1-for-1 bonus on 100 shares adds 100 shares, making the total 200.
How to use this calculator
- Enter values from the same transaction or scenario.
- Confirm that quantities, dates, rates and currency match the labels.
- Review the result and change one assumption at a time when comparing scenarios.
Common mistakes
- Reading 1-for-2 as two bonus shares for every one held.
- Ignoring the record date and eligibility rules.
- Treating bonus shares as guaranteed profit.
