Sensex and Nifty calculation simplified



Have you ever wondered what the SENSEX and NIFTY is? How are they calculated?

SENSEX i.e. Sensitive Index is the benchmark index of Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) composed of 30 of the largest and most actively-traded stocks of BSE.

Calculation Method

BSE uses Free-Float methodology (multiplying the number of shares of top 30 companies with their respective equity’s price excluding locked in shares i.e. the ones hold by promoters, government and those having controlling interest in the concern) to calculate the index. For e.g. A company has 2 promoters X and Y and shares held by them are 1000 and 2000 respectively and to take a loan 1500 shares has been issued to government as a collateral. So 1000+2000+1500=4500 shares will be taken as locked in securities and all other shares are used to calculate SENSEX. Now question arises what is the process. Here it is –

1.  Each company’s Market capitalization is determined (No. of shares x price)

2. Free float factor of company is determined by BSE. Free float factor (between 0.05-1.00) is a multiple by which company’s Market capitalization is multiplied to arrive at Free-float market capitalization. The factor is determined by details submitted by company. It is a kind of weightage given to companies. Say Capitalization is 36,00,000

3. Now Ratio and Proportion is used. How? Base index of 1978-79 is used. Index of 1978-79 is taken as 100. Say the Free-float market capitalization was 60,000 (may vary) at the time.

When the capitalization was 60,000 index was 100
When the capitalization is 36,00,000 index is 6000
So it means SENSEX is 6000
