Return on Investment (ROI) Calculator

Calculate the return on investment (ROI) and net profit from an initial investment and its final value.

This is an estimate for general informational purposes only, not investment advice. It does not account for fees, taxes, or the time period over which the return occurred (i.e., it is not annualized).

Return on investment (ROI) measures the gain or loss on an investment relative to its cost, expressed as a percentage. It is a simple, widely used way to compare the performance of different investments regardless of their size.

Example

  • With the default values shown above, this calculator returns: Net Profit / Loss ≈ USD 3,000.00; Return on Investment (ROI) ≈ 30.00.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this ROI account for how long I held the investment?

No — this is a simple total-return ROI, not annualized. Two investments with the same ROI held for different lengths of time performed very differently on an annual basis.

Should I include fees in the final value?

For the most accurate picture, use the final value net of any fees or commissions, and include the fees in your initial investment if they were paid upfront.
