How to calculate the cost per ETF unit?

The cost per unit of an ETF can be calculated using the following formula:

Cost per ETF Unit (C) is given by:

§§ C = \frac{T}{U} §§

where:

  • § C § — cost per ETF unit
  • § T § — total cost of the ETF
  • § U § — number of units owned

This formula allows you to find out how much you are paying for each unit of the ETF you own.

Example:

Total Cost (§ T §): $1,000

Number of Units (§ U §): 10

Cost per ETF Unit:

§§ C = \frac{1000}{10} = 100 \text{ USD} §§
