What is the ROI Calculator?

Measures how much an investment made or lost as a percentage of what you put in, and — if you give a time period — the equivalent yearly return, so investments held for different lengths of time can be compared fairly.

How it works

How to use the ROI Calculator

3 simple steps. No experience needed.

What can you use it for?

  • Compare two investments held for different periods.
  • Measure a marketing campaign's return.
  • Check how a property or shares really performed.

ROI vs annualized return

Plain ROI ignores time: 50% over ten years is far worse than 50% over two. The annualized figure puts investments on the same yearly footing so they can be compared.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is annualized return?

The steady yearly rate that would turn your starting amount into the final value. A 35% gain over 3 years is about 10.5% a year.

Does ROI include fees and dividends?

Include them in the final value for an accurate result — subtract fees and add any income you received.
