ProfitMetricLabHow it works
(Total returned − investment) ÷ investment × 100
$2,800 returned on $2,000 invested yields 40% ROI.
What the result means
ROI is not annualized here. Compare investments over similar periods, and include relevant fees and costs in the investment. A negative result means the returned value is below the initial outlay.
