Guide and interpretation

What it calculates

The ROI calculator compares return value with investment cost and reports net return plus return on investment.

Formula

Net return = return value - investment cost. ROI = net return / investment cost.

How to interpret it

Positive ROI means the return is higher than cost. Compare ROI with risk, time horizon and alternatives.

Common mistakes

Do not compare a one-month ROI with a multi-year ROI without annualizing or naming the time period.

Limits

The result excludes risk, taxes, financing cost, inflation and opportunity cost unless those are included in the inputs.
