How to think about IPO returns on NEPSE
Nearly all NEPSE IPOs are issued at the par value of NPR 100 per share. Allotment is lottery-based for oversubscribed issues, and the typical Nepali retail experience is to apply for 10 units (NPR 1,000 locked) across as many IPOs as possible and hope the lottery favours you. When you do get an allotment, the listing-day open is usually a multiple of par — between 2× and 6× is common — which means the list-day return alone is often 100%–500%.
What this calculator doesn't show is broker commission, the SEBON fee, the DP charge, or capital gains tax on a sale. For the net take-home after a sale, use the Capital Gains Tax calculator. For the wider context on IPO mechanics, read our beginner's guide.
Past IPO performance does not predict future results. The annualised return is a comparison metric, not a forecast.
Frequently asked
Why is the default IPO price 100 rupees?
Nearly every NEPSE IPO is issued at par value of NPR 100 per share. Listed companies almost never price an IPO above par; SEBON's pricing rules and Nepali market convention keep issues at par to maximise retail subscription. Override the input only if you're looking at an unusual book-built issue.
What does 'list-day return' mean here?
The return you would have seen on day 1 of trading if you sold at the listing-day opening price. (Allotment value × list-day price) ÷ allotment value, minus 1. Most Nepali IPOs list at a multiple of issue price, so the list-day return is typically the bulk of the lifetime return for that allotment.
How is the annualised return calculated?
We use the simple time-weighted formula: (1 + total return) ^ (365 / days held) − 1. It converts your raw total return into the equivalent annual rate so you can compare across allotments held for different lengths. For IPOs held less than a year the annualised number can be very high — treat it as a comparison tool, not a forecast.
Does this account for broker commission and CGT on the sale?
No — this calculator shows gross returns on the allotment. To see the net after broker fees and capital gains tax on a sale, use the Capital Gains Tax calculator and enter the IPO price as your buy price and the sell price as your target exit. Or for round-trip planning, run the CGT calc with buyDays = today − listing date.
