The ROI calculator compares return value with investment cost and reports net return plus return on investment.
Net return = return value - investment cost. ROI = net return / investment cost.
Positive ROI means the return is higher than cost. Compare ROI with risk, time horizon and alternatives.
Do not compare a one-month ROI with a multi-year ROI without annualizing or naming the time period.
The result excludes risk, taxes, financing cost, inflation and opportunity cost unless those are included in the inputs.
