Frequently Asked Questions
How is ROI calculated?
ROI is calculated as: ROI % = ((Final Value - Initial Investment) / Initial Investment) x 100. For example, if you invest $1,000 and it grows to $1,500, your ROI is ((1500-1000)/1000) x 100 = 50%.
What is annualized ROI?
Annualized ROI adjusts the total return to reflect a yearly rate, making it easier to compare investments held for different time periods. It is calculated as: Annualized ROI = ((1 + ROI)^(1/years) - 1) x 100.
Why should I use annualized ROI instead of total ROI?
Total ROI can be misleading when comparing investments held for different durations. A 50% return over 1 year is far better than a 50% return over 10 years. Annualized ROI normalizes returns to a per-year basis for fair comparison.
Can I compare multiple investments?
Yes, enable the comparison mode to evaluate up to 3 investments side by side. Each investment can have different initial amounts, final values, and time periods, making it easy to see which one performs best.
Does this calculator account for taxes or fees?
This calculator computes raw ROI based on the amounts you enter. To account for taxes or fees, subtract them from your final value before entering it into the calculator.
