Return on Investment measures gain or loss relative to cost: ROI = (Final Value - Initial Investment) / Initial Investment x 100. A 50% ROI means every $1 invested became $1.50.

Why does annualized ROI matter?

A 50% return over 5 years is very different from 50% in one year. Annualized ROI (CAGR) converts total return into an average yearly rate, making different investments directly comparable.

Does ROI include fees and dividends?

Only if you include them in the numbers. Use final value after fees and with dividends reinvested for the most accurate picture of true performance.

When to Use ROI Calculator

Pro Tip
