How to use ROI Calculator
ROI is (total proceeds − investment cost) ÷ investment cost × 100. Include all relevant proceeds and costs in the amounts you enter.
- Enter initial investment / total cost, total proceeds / ending value.
- Check that the input follows the stated limits and uses consistent units.
- Run the calculator, review the result, then copy or download it.
Good to know
- Cost must be positive and proceeds nonnegative. This is a total-period arithmetic return; it ignores timing and intermediate cash flows.
- Decimal inputs have at most 120 characters and magnitude from 1e-100 to 1e15, or zero. Floating-point results are rounded to 12 significant digits; extreme derived results may underflow or be rejected. Exact integer results are identified separately.
- Educational estimate with user-entered assumptions, not a quote or financial/tax advice. Rates are hypothetical, fixed, and not fetched. Fees, taxes, inflation, payment-day conventions, and currency rules are excluded unless explicitly entered.
Common questions
What calculation does ROI Calculator perform?
ROI is (total proceeds − investment cost) ÷ investment cost × 100. Include all relevant proceeds and costs in the amounts you enter.
Is ROI an annual rate?
No. For a single starting and ending value over known years, the annualized return calculator provides CAGR.
