Compare investments using annualized ROI, not total ROI, to account for different time periods.
ROI Calculator — Return on Investment %, Annualized Returns & Capital Efficiency
Return on Investment (ROI) is the universal benchmark of financial profitability, measuring the net monetary return generated relative to initial capital invested. The ROI Calculator computes total percentage return, absolute capital gain, and annualized return across stocks, real estate, business projects, and capital expenditures.
Simple ROI (%) = [(Final Value − Initial Investment) ÷ Initial Investment] × 100
Annualized ROI (CAGR) Formula: Annualized ROI = [(Final Value ÷ Initial Investment)^(1 ÷ Years) − 1] × 100
Why Annualized Return Matters: A 100% simple ROI sounds impressive, but if it required 20 years to double, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is only 3.53%—which underperformed standard inflation. Always evaluate ROI in relation to the holding duration and risk taken. For recurring cashflow investments, utilize our Investment Calculator.
