About Portfolio Allocation Calculator

See exactly how your money is spread across different investments and figure out what trades to make to get back on target. Add your assets, set target percentages, and the calculator does the rest.

Visual Allocation

The pie chart shows your current allocation at a glance. Each asset gets a distinct color, and the percentage bars let you compare relative sizes. This makes it easy to spot when one asset class has drifted too far from your plan.

Rebalancing Guidance

Set a target percentage for each asset and the calculator computes exactly how much to buy or sell to reach those targets. Green means you need to buy more, red means you should trim. If your targets do not add up to 100%, a warning shows so you can adjust. For calculating the expected return on your overall portfolio, the ROI Calculator can compare different allocations.

Building Your Allocation

There is no single correct allocation. It depends on your age, risk tolerance, and goals. A common starting point is splitting between stocks and bonds based on your age. Younger investors can afford more stocks. Those nearing retirement often shift toward bonds and dividend-paying stocks. The Retirement Calculator can help you plan the drawdown phase. Everything runs in your browser with nothing stored.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is portfolio allocation?

Portfolio allocation is how you divide your investments across different asset classes like stocks, bonds, real estate, and cash. Your allocation determines your risk and return profile. A portfolio heavy in stocks has more growth potential but also more volatility than one weighted toward bonds.

How does rebalancing work?

Rebalancing means adjusting your portfolio back to your target percentages. If stocks outperform and grow from 60% to 70% of your portfolio, you would sell some stocks and buy other assets to get back to 60%. The calculator shows you exactly how much to buy or sell for each asset.

Why do targets need to add up to 100%?

The calculator will still work if your targets do not add to 100%, but it will show a warning. Targets summing to 100% ensure every dollar in your portfolio has a designated allocation. If they add to less than 100%, the calculator assumes the remainder is unallocated.

How often should I rebalance?

Most advisors suggest rebalancing once or twice a year, or whenever an asset drifts more than 5% from its target. Too-frequent rebalancing can trigger unnecessary taxes and trading costs. Too-rare rebalancing lets your risk profile drift from your plan.
