Do I pay tax on stock profits?

Yes. In most countries, capital gains on stocks are taxable. Tax rates depend on how long you held the stock (short-term vs long-term) and your total income. Consult a tax advisor.

What is the percentage return on this trade?

Return % = Net Profit ÷ Total Investment Cost × 100. For example, a $1,500 gain on a $5,000 investment is a 30% return.

What are commission-free brokers?

Many modern brokers like Robinhood, Trading 212, and eToro (varies by region) offer $0 commission trades. Revenue comes from payment for order flow or premium subscriptions instead.
