Adjusted Cost Base

Adjusted Cost Base (ACB) is used to determine capital gains or losses when you sell capital property such as stocks, ETFs, or mutual funds in non-registered accounts. This tool helps you record transactions and track running share balances, Total ACB, ACB per share, and gains on dispositions—all calculated in Canadian dollars, with foreign exchange handling where required.

For Canadian tax purposes, ACB is generally tracked across all your non-registered accounts for the same security. In this tool, you work with a single combined portfolio (which you can rename), along with your own list of securities and transactions.

When you register and sign in, you can:

  • Add and manage securities (symbol and name)
  • Record buys, sells, transfers, return of capital, reinvested distributions, splits, and DRIPs
  • Filter and review your transaction history with running totals
  • Import transactions from a CSV file
  • Automatically generate Return of Capital and Reinvested Distributions transactions for common ETFs
  • And more features to help you track and manage your ACB

Try Without Registering

Add securities and transactions to explore how the tool works—no sign-up required. Your data isn’t saved like it is in a registered account and may be cleared when your session ends or after a period of inactivity. Register and sign in when you’re ready to keep a permanent record.

Note: In demo mode, importing transactions from a CSV file, generating Return of Capital and reinvested distribution transactions, and other advanced features are not available.
