How is ROI Calculated?

ROI can be calculated as a simple percentage or annualized for better comparison across different time periods:

Simple ROI

ROI=Final ValueInitial InvestmentInitial Investment×100%ROI = \frac{Final\ Value - Initial\ Investment}{Initial\ Investment} \times 100\%

Annualized ROI (CAGR)

Compound Annual Growth Rate shows your average yearly return

CAGR=(Final ValueInitial Investment)1n1CAGR = \left(\frac{Final\ Value}{Initial\ Investment}\right)^{\frac{1}{n}} - 1

Investment Tips

  • 1Always compare annualized ROI when investments have different time periods
  • 2Account for inflation - a 3% return with 3% inflation means zero real growth
  • 3Consider fees and taxes which reduce your actual returns
  • 4Past performance doesn't guarantee future results
  • 5Diversify investments to balance risk and return
