Bonus Share Adjustment Calculator

Your new share count, the tax on the bonus, whether the cash dividend covers it, and your new average cost

How many shares did you hold before the bonus?

What did you pay per share, on average? (Rs)

Bonus share %

Cash dividend % (for tax) — leave empty if none

Face value per share (Rs)

Fill in your shares, average cost and the bonus %. Add the cash dividend % if the company announced one.

Most companies announce a small cash dividend with a bonus so the tax is paid from it; with a bonus only, you pay the tax yourself. MeroShare usually records bonus shares at their face value when it works out your WACC — check yours there before selling. Not financial advice.
