Return on Investment (ROI) calculator

 

About this calculator?

This is a tool for deducing the Gain or loss and ROI of an investment, allowing you to plan for profitable or reject unprofitable investment options. This can also lead you to discover the Annualized ROI or how long it could take to recuperate investment costs.

ROI

ROI is the ratio of the invested and returned amounts (net gain to its net cost). Typically, ROI is expressed as a percentage. As a result, when a computation yields a result of ROI = 0.1, financial analysts report it as ROI = 10%.

ROI is one of the most often used techniques of analyzing the economic implications of investments, among other basic metrics of profitability. The primary benefit of utilising ROI is the simplicity in deducing investment profitability since it is based on readily available data and its value is easy to grasp and interpret. Furthermore, because ROI is expressed as a percentage, it is simple to compare the outcomes of various investments. As a result, owing to ROI, you may select the most advantageous option.

Evaluating ROI

Knowing the efficiency of investments can allow investors to agree or disagree in short term and long term business strategies. ROI is important in investment decisions.

The caveat of the ROI formula is that it ignores any potential hazards linked with the investment. This can be a drawback without utilising other formulas to generate other financial data to provide the whole scope of investment.

Financial decisions

ROI can be a helpful statistic for estimating the surplus of net investment benefit and it may also be utilized to make sound financial decisions. ROI is generally utilized as an auxiliary at the first stage of evaluating an investment project since it is a straightforward approach. In general, the decision criterion is defined in the following way:

  • ROI ≥ LV: The investment is profitable.

  • ROI < LV: The investment is unprofitable.

Where LV is a predefined limit value.

An investor has capital to invest and has only one investment alternative, the decision criterion is formulated as follows:

  • ROI ≥ 0: The investment is profitable.

  • ROI < 0: The investment is unprofitable.

The formula.

Gain Or Loss

  • Gain Or Loss: GOL

  • Returned Amount: RA

  • Invested Amount: IA

GOL = RA - IA

ROI

  • Return Of Investment: ROI

  • Returned Amount: RA

  • Invested Amount: IA

ROI = ((RA - IA) / IA) * 100

Time Difference

  • Time Difference: TD

  • Ending Year: EY

  • Starting Year: SY

TD = EY - SY

Annualized ROI

  • Annualized ROI: AROI

  • Returned Amount: RA

  • Invested Amount: IA

  • Time Difference: TD

AROI = (((RA / IA) ^ (1 / TD)) - 1) * 100

Time Difference

  • Time Difference: TD

  • Returned Amount: RA

  • Invested Amount: IA

  • Annualized ROI: AROI

TD = (log (RA / IA )) / (1 * ( log ( 1 + (AROI / 100) / 1)))
