ROI formula
ROI = (amount recovered − total cost) ÷ total cost × 100. If you invested $25,000 and recovered $38,000 in total, you earned $13,000 and your ROI was 52%.
This tool expresses break-even as a monetary amount. To calculate it by units or customers, you also need the price, variable cost, and fixed costs. Use the break-even calculator for that analysis.
Frequently asked questions
What is the ROI formula?
ROI is calculated by subtracting total cost from recovered value, dividing the profit or loss by total cost, and multiplying by 100.
Should I enter total revenue or net profit?
In simple-investment mode, enter the total recovered value including invested capital. In business or project mode, enter total revenue and each cost once.
Are ROI and profit margin the same?
No. ROI compares profit with total cost. Margin compares profit with revenue.
Does a positive ROI mean the investment was good?
Not necessarily. You should also consider time, risk, inflation, taxes and other alternatives.
When should ROI be annualized?
When comparing investments with different terms. The equivalent annual rate assumes an initial investment and final value without intermediate cash flows.
What factors does this calculator exclude?
It does not automatically include inflation, taxes, risk, opportunity cost or intermediate deposits and withdrawals.
