SUMMARY
This article explains how Gain and Percent Gain (% Gain) are calculated in the Performance View of the Investments area in Microsoft Money.



MORE INFORMATION
Gain and Percent Gain are calculated from the date of the first transaction for each investment, or for the account. The calculations are as follows:   Gain =   Closing value amount

+ Income transactions amount + Sell transactions amount + Short Sell transactions amount - Opening value amount (this is the beginning of the first           transaction with that security or in that account) - Buy transactions amount - Cover Short transactions amount

Percent Gain = Gain / (Opening value + Buys + Short Sells)
