Under the 'full-market capitalization' methodology, the total market capitalization of a company, irrespective of who is holding the shares, is taken into consideration for computation of an index. However, if instead of taking the total market capitalization, only the Free-float market capitalization of a company is considered for index calculation, it is called the Free-float methodology. Free-float market capitalization is defined as that proportion of total shares issued by the company which are readily available for trading in the market. It generally excludes promoters' holding, government holding, strategic holding and other locked-in shares, which will not come to the market for trading in the normal course. Thus, the market capitalization of each company in a Free-float index is reduced to the extent of its Free-float available in the market.

How do you calculate stock exchange indexes?

i want to know how can i made stock exchange indexesCriteria's to select 50 or 30 Companies among NSE / BSE list of Companies· BSE Listed Companies as on 05 - 10 - 2011 is 5,085.· NSE Listed Companies as on 05 - 10 - 2011 is 1,552.ü A company must have one year history as a BSE listed company.ü A company should be among top 100 in BSE listed companies.ü A company should be a market leader in the particular sector.ü Each company should more than 0.5% of total market capitalization of Sensex.ü A company should have well past record.ü Company should be traded in each and every day of last one year (Except market holidays).After sort listing, we go to the calculation of BSE/NSE indexes. Before that we must know what is market capitalization. I would to share that too.Market capitalization:Market capitalization is total worth of a company (i.e. outstanding shares of a company). Outstanding shares are nothing but the shares which are not hold by the company or the shares which are hold by public, investors, employees etc.Formula:Market Capitalization = No of Shares Outstanding * Market price per shareTotal Market Capitalization = Market capitalization of NSE 50 / BSE 30 companies.Free Float Market CapitalizationThis is directly opposite to the Market capitalization. i.e. Except the Locked Shares (which includes promoter holdings, government holdings).Free float Market Capitalization = Share Price * (Shares Outstanding - Locked shares) ORFree float market capitalization =No. of outstanding share * market price of shareTotal Free float Market Capitalization = Free float Market capitalization of NSE 50 / BSE 30 companies.For Example:1.XYZ:Imagine XYZ one of the company (which is among NSE 50 or BSE 30).XYZ has 1000 shares among that government is holding 300 shares, promoter holding is 500 shares, and 200 shares are available in market and price of a share is Rs. 10.The calculation would be,· Market capitalization of the company is 1000 X 10 = 10,000.· Free float market capitalization of company is 200 X 10= 2,000.2.ZYX:ZYX has 2000 shares among that government is holding 500 shares, promoter holding is 500 shares, and 1000 shares are available in market and price of a share is Rs. 20.The calculation would be,· Market capitalization of the company is 2000 X 20 = 40,000.· Free float market capitalization of company is 1000 X 20= 20,000.Total Market CapitalizationTotal Market Capitalization = Market capitalization of NSE 50 / BSE 30 companies.Total Market Capitalization = XYZ + ZYX + … + ADD UP TO NSE 50 OR BSE 30.EXAMPLETotal Market Capitalization = 10,000 (XYZ) + 40,000 (ZYX) + … + ADD UP TO NSE 50 OR BSE 30.Therefore, Total Market Capitalization = 50,000Total Free float Market Capitalization = Free float Market capitalization of NSE 50 / BSE 30 companies.Total Free float Market Capitalization = XYZ + ZYX + …+ ADD UP TO NSE 50 OR BSE 30.Total Free float Market Capitalization = 2,000 (XYZ) + 20,000 (ZYX) +…+ ADD UP TO NSE 50 OR BSE 30.Therefore, Total Free float Market Capitalization = 22,000.Now let us calculate index value of NSE / BSEFormula for SENSEX calculation:SENSEX = (sum of free float market cap of 30 major companies of BSE) *Index value in 1978-79 / Market cap value in 1978-79.Assume market capitalization is 2000. Now, as per formula:SENSEX = 100000 X 100 / 2000 = 5000Value of Sensex is 5000.Formula for Nifty calculation:NIFTY = (Sum of free flow market cap of 50 major stocks of NSE) *Index value in 1995 / market cap value in 1995.Assuming the market capitalization value during 1995 is 20,000.NIFTY = 100000 x 1000 / 100000 = 1000.Value of Nifty is 1000.


How do you calculate the NSE-20 share index?

The NSE-20 share index is calculated using a market capitalization-weighted formula, which reflects the performance of the top 20 companies listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange. The index value is derived by taking the total market capitalization of the selected companies and dividing it by a base market capitalization value, multiplied by a scaling factor to ensure the index is easily interpretable. Changes in stock prices, shares outstanding, and other market adjustments are factored in to provide an accurate reflection of market performance. Regular reviews ensure the index remains representative of the market.
