Currency selection changes formatting only. No exchange rates or market prices are supplied.

Formula

Net return = total returned − investment; ROI = net return ÷ investment × 100.

Worked example

The initial example uses the following assumptions. Its result is computed by the same engine as the calculator. Measurements are metric and money amounts use USD; these are illustrative inputs, not market prices.

Initial investment
1000
Total amount returned
1200
  • Return on investment: 20%
  • Net return: $200.00

Assumptions and limitations

Total returned includes recovered capital. This is not an annualized return, so periods of different lengths are not directly comparable. Fees and taxes matter only if included in the amounts.

Questions about this calculation

Should I enter profit or total proceeds?

Enter total proceeds, including recovered capital. Your original investment is subtracted once.

Can ROI be negative?

Yes. Receiving 800 from an investment of 1,000 gives a loss of 200 and an ROI of −20%.
