Frequently Asked Questions

What does a portfolio rebalancing calculator do?

It compares current dollar values with user-entered target percentages and calculates modeled buys and sells, or a new-cash-only allocation. It does not choose investments or recommend an allocation.

Can I rebalance with new cash only?

Yes. New-cash mode directs the entered cash toward underweight assets without selling. Exact target weights may be unreachable when the available cash is insufficient.

Does this calculator include taxes or trading fees?

No. Taxes, spreads, commissions, account restrictions, minimum trade sizes, and settlement timing are excluded. Review those consequences before placing trades.

How Portfolio Rebalancing Is Calculated

This tool performs allocation arithmetic from your values and targets. It does not select investments or decide whether a trade is appropriate.

Buy and sell mode

Target dollar values equal the current portfolio total multiplied by each target percentage. Positive differences are modeled buys and negative differences are modeled sells.

New-cash-only mode

New cash is directed toward underweight assets without modeled sales. When cash is insufficient, purchases are scaled across the underweight assets and the result may remain away from target.

Methodology and limitations

Values are calculated locally in your browser. Taxes, capital gains, trading fees, spreads, account restrictions, wash-sale rules, minimum trade sizes, and market movement are not modeled.

  • Targets are supplied by you and must total 100%.
  • Review tax and account consequences before trading.
  • Use current account values rather than stale share prices.
