ROI Calculator
Measure return on investment using initial cost, final proceeds and additional expenses. The result separates dollar profit from percentage ROI so projects, trades and purchases can be compared despite different sizes.
Total invested$5,200.00
Net profit$800.00
ROI15.38%
Break-even proceeds$5,200.00
How this tool works
Net profit = proceeds − initial cost − additional costs. ROI = net profit ÷ total invested cost × 100%.
Example
Spending $5,000 plus $200 in additional costs and receiving $6,000 back creates $800 of net profit and an ROI of about 15.38%.
Common questions
Should I include fees?
Yes. Include transaction fees, commissions or other directly attributable costs if you want a more realistic ROI.
Does ROI account for time?
No. ROI by itself ignores holding period. Use the annualized return calculator when time matters.
