ROI Calculator Notes

  • What is ROI?

    Return on Investment (ROI) is a performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency or profitability of an investment. It compares the gain from an investment relative to its cost.

  • Formulas

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

    Annualised ROI = ((1 + ROI)1/Years - 1) × 100

    Net Gain/Loss = Final Value - Initial Investment

  • Limitations of ROI

    • Doesn't account for the time value of money
    • Doesn't consider risk or inflation
    • Can be manipulated depending on how costs are defined
    • Should be used alongside other metrics for complete analysis
