Buyback Calculator

How it's calculated

Accepted shares = shares you tender × acceptance ratio, rounded down. This assumes you tender your whole holding. Tax treatment of buybacks differs by period and holder, so check current rules.

How a share buyback works for you

In a buyback, a company offers to buy shares back from its shareholders, often at a price above the market price. If you tender your shares, only part may be accepted. The acceptance ratio is the share of your tendered shares that the company actually takes.

With the example values, you hold 500 shares at an average of ₹1,400, the buyback price is ₹1,800 and 30% are accepted. That is 150 shares for ₹2,70,000, a gain of ₹60,000 on those shares, and you keep the other 350.

Frequently asked questions

What is an acceptance ratio?

It is the portion of the shares you tender that the company accepts. A ratio of 30% means 30 out of every 100 shares you tender are bought.

Do I lose the shares that are not accepted?

No. Shares that are not accepted stay in your account.

How is a buyback taxed?

The tax treatment has changed over time and depends on the holder, so check the current rules or ask a tax professional. This calculator does not include tax.
