How do I calculate ROI?

ROI is calculated as: ROI = (Gain from Investment - Cost of Investment) / Cost of Investment × 100%. For example, if you invest $1,000 and it's worth $1,200, your ROI is (1200-1000)/1000 × 100% = 20%.

What is a good ROI percentage?

Good ROI depends on investment type and risk. Stocks historically average 7-10% annually, real estate 8-12%, while savings accounts may be 1-2%. Higher returns typically come with higher risk. Compare ROI to benchmarks for your investment type.

How does time period affect ROI?

ROI should be annualized for fair comparison. A 20% return over 2 years is 10% annually, while 20% over 6 months is 40% annually. Our calculator can show both total ROI and annualized ROI for accurate comparisons.

Yes, negative ROI means you lost money on the investment. If you invest $1,000 and it's worth $800, your ROI is -20%. Negative ROI indicates a loss, and you should evaluate whether to hold or exit the investment.

How do I use ROI to compare investments?

Compare investments by annualized ROI to account for different time periods. Also consider risk, liquidity, and your investment goals. A higher ROI with higher risk may not be suitable for all investors. Use our calculator to compare multiple investments.
