ROI Analysis
What is an ROI Calculator?
Return on Investment (ROI) is a key performance metric used to evaluate the profitability of an investment. It compares the gain or loss relative to the initial cost, expressed as a percentage.
Our ROI calculator goes further by calculating your profit or loss in dollars, the investment multiplier, and the annualized return if you provide the investment period. This makes it easy to compare investments of different sizes and durations.
How to Use
- Enter the amount you originally invested.
- Enter the current or final value of the investment.
- Optionally, enter the investment period in years to see annualized ROI.
- Click Calculate to see your ROI, profit, and multiplier.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ROI formula?
ROI = (Final Value - Initial Investment) / Initial Investment × 100%. It measures the percentage gain or loss on your investment.
What is annualized ROI?
Annualized ROI converts your total return into an equivalent yearly return, making it easier to compare investments held for different lengths of time.
Can ROI be negative?
Yes, a negative ROI means your investment lost value. The calculator will display the loss in red to indicate a negative return.
Does this include dividends or fees?
The calculator uses your net final value. If you reinvested dividends, include them in the final value. If you paid fees, subtract them from the final value for an accurate net ROI.
