2. Enter this subtraction equation into a calculator, and press the '=' key. Write the result, or difference, to the right of the '=' on the sheet of paper.
3. Re-write the result followed by a multiplication sign (x) beneath the existing equation. After the multiplication sign, write number of units** of the asset you held at the time the rise in price occurred, and place an 'equal' sign beside the latter.
4. Enter the foregoing equation into a calculator and press the '=' key. Write the result, or product, to the right of the '=' at the end of the second equation. This figure represents your unrealized gain.
