What is ROI?
Return on Investment (ROI) is a popular financial metric used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment or compare the efficiency of several different investments. ROI tries to directly measure the amount of return on a particular investment, relative to the investment's cost.
A positive ROI means the investment is profitable, while a negative ROI indicates a net loss.
The Formula
ROI = ((Final Value - Initial Cost) / Initial Cost) × 100
Simple ROI is easy to calculate and use across different asset classes, though it does not account for the time period the investment was held.
