You could use Google Finance. If you pull up a chart of a particular stock --- you'll see in the upper LEFT HAND of the chart -- right under where you can select a time frame (1 day - 5 days - 1 month etc) there is a beginning date and ending date -- if you mouse over those - you can change the dates.... so you can put the date you bought the stock.
Or you can use this math calculation:
(Price Sold - Purchase Price)/(Purchase Price)
So using Chevron (CVX)
If you bought on Jan 1 2012 @ 106.40 and todays price is 116.97
116.97 minus 106.40 = 10.57 divided by 106.40 = 9.93%
