Portfolio Rebalancing Calculator
Calculate how to rebalance your portfolio to match target allocations.
See exactly how much to buy or sell for each asset.
Portfolio rebalancing brings your actual asset allocation back in line with your target allocation.
Core formula for each asset:
Target Value = Total Portfolio × (Target % / 100)
Difference = Target Value − Current Value
- Positive = Buy more
- Negative = Sell some
Why rebalance?
- Keeps your risk level consistent with your goals
- Forces you to “buy low, sell high” systematically
- Prevents any single asset from dominating your portfolio
Example: If your target is 60% stocks / 40% bonds and your portfolio has grown to 70% stocks / 30% bonds:
- Sell some stocks and buy bonds to return to 60/40
Common rebalancing schedules:
- Calendar-based: Quarterly or annually
- Threshold-based: When any asset drifts more than 5% from target
- Combination: Check quarterly, rebalance if threshold exceeded
