How it works

Net gain is Final value − Amount invested. ROI is (Net gain ÷ Amount invested) × 100.

Example

A 5,000 investment that grows to 6,200 has a net gain of 1,200 and an ROI of 24%.

Assumptions & limitations

This is a simple point-to-point ROI and doesn't annualize the return or account for time held, fees or taxes.

Frequently asked questions

Does ROI account for how long I held the investment?

No, this is simple ROI. For a return rate that accounts for time, see our compound interest calculator.

Can ROI be negative?

Yes — if the final value is lower than the amount invested, ROI is negative.
