ROI vs Amount Invested
ROI Formula
ROI = (Final Value - Initial Investment) / Initial Investment × 100%
A positive ROI means you gained money; negative means you lost money. ROI is one of the most widely used profitability metrics because it is simple to calculate and easy to compare across different investment types. However, it does not account for the time period of the investment, so a 40% ROI over ten years is very different from 40% over one year. For time-adjusted comparisons, use the CAGR calculator instead.
Example Calculation
You invested $10,000 and it is now worth $14,000.
- 01Net gain = $14,000 - $10,000 = $4,000
- 02ROI = $4,000 / $10,000 × 100% = 40%
