ROI Calculator — Return on Investment
Calculate your return on investment, net profit, and annualised ROI from any investment.
What Is ROI?
ROI (Return on Investment) measures how profitable an investment is relative to its cost. The formula is: ROI (%) = ((Final Value − Initial Cost) / Initial Cost) × 100. A positive ROI means you gained money; negative means a loss. ROI is one of the most widely used metrics in business, investing, and marketing.
ROI Formula
Basic ROI: ((Final Value − Cost) / Cost) × 100
Net Profit: Final Value − Initial Cost
Annualised ROI: ((Final Value / Cost)^(1/Years) − 1) × 100
Investment Multiple: Final Value / Cost
What Is a Good ROI?
It depends entirely on the type of investment and time period. Equity mutual funds in India have historically returned 12-15% annually over long periods. Fixed deposits return 6-7%. Real estate varies widely by location. For business investments, ROI above the cost of capital is considered good. Always compare ROI against alternative uses of the same money.
