Formula
Lots = floor(budget ÷ (price × lot size)). Shares = lots × lot size. Leftover PKR is not a fill.
Classroom: PKR 100,000 at PKR 200
If last is PKR 200 and the board lot is 500, one lot costs PKR 100,000. A 100,000 budget buys 1 lot (500 shares) with nothing left - leftover PKR is not a fill.

Score guide
| Range | Label | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| 0 shares | Budget too small | Your PKR cannot buy even one full lot at this price. Save more or pick a lower-priced name. |
| 1+ lots | Fits at least one lot | You can place a marketable order for whole lots. Add round-trip fees as a separate step. |
| Large leftover | Cash left over | Normal - PSX trades in lots, not odd shares. Leftover PKR stays in your account. |

FAQ
Is 500 the official lot for every PSX share?
No. Many names use 500. Some use 100 or 1. Confirm the ticker’s board lot on your broker ticket.
Is the result a buy or sell signal?
No. It is classroom arithmetic. Compare with filings and a licensed broker before any real order.
