ROI Calculator
Return on investment for anything you can put a cost and a final value on.
Method
How it works
ROI compares the net gain or loss with everything spent to obtain it. Enter the initial investment, its final value and any additional costs that should count towards the total outlay.
The return multiple shows final value divided by total cost, while ROI expresses the net result as a percentage of that total cost.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
What should I include as an additional cost?
Include relevant fees, maintenance, transaction costs or other expenditure that forms part of the investment.
Does ROI account for time?
No. ROI measures total return without considering how long the investment was held; use CAGR for an annualised rate.
Can ROI be negative?
Yes. It is negative when final value is lower than the combined initial investment and additional costs.
