Float Rotation Calculator

Float rotation is how many times a stock’s float changed hands in a session: shares traded divided by float. Enter the day’s share volume, or its dollar volume and volume-weighted average price, and the float. A signed-in reader can load a ticker’s latest session volume and float.

Each company page has a Float page with the float, its source and date, for example AAPL float.

Hypothetical illustration of how the contract arithmetic works. It is not a forecast of any company’s share count or price, and it is not investment advice.

How the numbers are calculated

Shares traded = share volume, or dollar volume ÷ VWAP when no share volume is entered.
Float rotation = shares traded ÷ float. A rotation of 1.00x means a number of shares equal to the whole float traded.
Percent of float traded = float rotation × 100.

Notes and limits

The defaults reproduce the stat-strip example in the Terminal tour: $12,000,000 of volume at a $1.50 VWAP is 8,000,000 shares, one full rotation of an 8,000,000-share float.
The same share can trade many times in a day, so a rotation above 1.00x does not mean every holder sold. It measures turnover, not ownership change.
Float figures differ by source and some exclude restricted blocks that cannot trade yet. Use the same float definition when comparing two stocks.
