What WACC means for a shareholder
In MeroShare, WACC is the weighted average cost of the shares you hold in one company. If you bought the same stock several times at different prices, WACC blends those purchases into one cost per share, weighted by how many units each purchase added.
The formula
WACC = total cost of all purchases ÷ total units held.
- IPO, FPO and right shares: cost is the issue price times units, usually Rs 100 per share.
- Secondary market buys: cost is the trade amount plus broker commission, SEBON fee and DP charge.
- Bonus shares: they add units at no cost, so they pull the average down.
Worked example
- 10 IPO shares at Rs 100: cost Rs 1,000.
- 20 shares bought on NEPSE at Rs 400: Rs 8,000 plus Rs 28.80 commission, Rs 1.20 SEBON fee and Rs 25 DP charge, so Rs 8,055.
- 3 bonus shares: cost Rs 0.
- Total: 33 units costing Rs 9,055. WACC is about Rs 274.39 per share.
Why it matters when you sell
Capital gains tax is calculated on the gain over your cost, so the WACC recorded against your shares directly changes the tax deducted when you sell. Check it in MeroShare's My Purchase section before selling, and update the purchase source for any shares that show the wrong cost.
The WACC calculator on this site handles IPO, secondary, right and bonus entries, and SajiloShare shows the WACC CDSC holds for every stock in your portfolio.
