ROI measures total return as a percentage. Annualize for fair comparison across different time periods.
Frequently Asked Questions
ROI = (Gain - Cost) / Cost × 100%. If you invested $1,000 and received $1,500, ROI = ($1,500 - $1,000) / $1,000 × 100% = 50%. ROI can be positive (profit) or negative (loss).
It depends on the investment type and risk. Stock market average: 7-10% annually. Real estate: 8-12%. High-yield savings: 4-5%. Higher ROI usually means higher risk. Compare ROI to benchmarks for the same asset class.
ROI is total return regardless of time. Annualized return shows yearly equivalent. A 50% ROI over 2 years = 22.5% annualized. Formula: Annualized = (1 + ROI)^(1/years) - 1. Always compare annualized returns for different holding periods.
Basic ROI calculation doesnt include fees or taxes. For accurate comparison, calculate net ROI by subtracting all costs: trading fees, management fees, taxes. Net ROI = (Final Value - Initial Cost - All Fees) / Initial Cost × 100%.
