What is the ROI Calculator?

Return on Investment (ROI) measures the gain or loss from an investment as a percentage of what was originally invested.

How to use it

  1. 1 Enter what you originally invested.
  2. 2 Enter the current or final value.

Worked examples

Limitations

  • •Doesn't account for the time period — use CAGR or annualized return to compare investments held for different lengths of time.

Frequently asked questions

Does ROI account for how long I held the investment?

No — a 30% ROI over 1 month is very different from 30% over 10 years. For time-adjusted comparisons, use an annualized return (CAGR) calculation instead.
