Free float, also known as public float, is a measure of the portion of a company's outstanding shares that is available for trading on the public market. It is calculated by subtracting restricted shares (held by insiders, such as company executives and directors) from the total number of outstanding shares. The free float represents the portion of a company's equity that is available for purchase by the general public and is used to determine the liquidity of a company's stock.
