What the Free Float Calculator is for

Estimate tradable shares and free-float market capitalization.

It makes the prices, cash flows, rates, time periods, weights, and model conventions explicit so you can inspect an entered scenario without hidden live-market assumptions.

Calculation structure

Follow the stated model and units

Visual explanation

See how the inputs become the result

Read the estimate correctly

Use the result within its boundaries

100m shares less 30m restricted shares leave 70m free float; at 10 per share, free-float capitalization is 700m.

This is a visitor-entered arithmetic scenario, not live market data, a forecast, a suitability assessment, or an investment recommendation.

Quick guide

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the exposure, market, accounting, probability, rate, or risk assumptions named by the fields.
  2. Use consistent currencies, periods, share units, and percentage conventions.
  3. Interpret the output only within the displayed model and limitations.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Free-float shares = shares outstanding − restricted or closely held shares.

Fixed decimal scalar arithmetic remains exact until display. Square-root and compound projections are explicitly approximate and reject non-finite results.

Worked example

Worked example

100m shares less 30m restricted shares leave 70m free float; at 10 per share, free-float capitalization is 700m.

Free-float shares = shares outstanding − restricted or closely held shares.

Supported inputs

Precision and limits

Visible input limits

Fixed decimals accept 30 digits and 12 decimal places, with absolute values capped at 1e12 per input and general rates capped at 1000%. Formula-specific shares and probability limits are validated separately.

International scope

No currency, exchange, broker, live security data, accounting standard, tax jurisdiction, contract specification, or regulatory disclosure is selected automatically.

Decision boundary

Outputs are arithmetic scenarios, not forecasts, advice, suitability assessments, trading signals, fair-value opinions, risk guarantees, or recommendations.

Calculator-specific assumptions

This is a visitor-entered arithmetic scenario, not live market data, a forecast, a suitability assessment, or an investment recommendation.
