The Complete Guide to ROI Calculation

Introduction to ROI

Our ROI Calculator is designed to help you assess the performance of your investments. By simply entering your initial investment, final value, and the investment period, you can quickly determine:

  • Total ROI as a percentage
  • Annualized ROI that reflects compound growth over time
  • Total Return, indicating your net profit or loss

ROI = ((Final Value - Initial Investment) / Initial Investment) × 100

What is ROI?

Return on Investment (ROI) is a key financial metric used to evaluate the profitability of an investment. It indicates the percentage gain or loss relative to the initial investment, making it easier to compare the performance of different investments.

ROI = ((Final Value - Initial Investment) / Initial Investment) × 100

How do we calculate ROI?

To calculate ROI, subtract your initial investment from the final value to determine the net gain or loss. Then, divide that result by the initial investment and multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage.

ROI = ((Final Value - Initial Investment) / Initial Investment) × 100

How is Annual ROI determined?

Annual ROI provides an annualized perspective on your investment returns by taking the total ROI and factoring in the investment period. This allows you to compare returns on investments held for different lengths of time.

Annual ROI = ((Final Value / Initial Investment)1 / Time Period - 1) × 100

Understanding Total Return

Total Return is the absolute gain or loss on your investment. It is calculated by subtracting the initial investment from the final value, giving you a clear picture of your net profit or loss.

Total Return = Final Value - Initial Investment
