How to calculate roi

(Return value − cost) ÷ cost × 100

Enter the total value received, including your original investment. This simple ROI does not annualise returns or account for timing.

A worked example

With investment cost of 1,000, total return value of 1,500, return on investment is 50%. Change the example above to match your situation.

Enter amounts in the same currency and time period. Results display up to two decimal places; calculations use unrounded values. These estimates are for planning and education.

Common questions

What should I enter as total return value?

Enter the total value received, including the original investment. If you invested 1,000 and received 1,500 in total, the net return is 500 and ROI is 50%.

Does ROI account for how long an investment takes?

This simple ROI does not annualise returns. Compare periods consistently and consider timing, fees and risk separately.
