ROI — The Business Fundamental
ROI (Return on Investment) measures gain from an investment relative to its cost. It is the most universally used investment metric. A positive ROI means you earned more than you invested; negative ROI means a loss.
📐 ROI Formula
ROI = (Net Profit ÷ Investment) × 100%
NetTotal return − Initial investment
Annual= ((1+ROI)^(1/years)) − 1
Frequently Asked Questions
Depends on the investment: stocks average 7–10%/year; business investments target 15–30%+; real estate 8–12%. Always compare against opportunity cost — the return you could earn on the best alternative investment.
ROI is a simple total/annual return percentage. IRR (Internal Rate of Return) accounts for the timing of cash flows, making it more accurate for investments with irregular cash flows. For simple lump-sum investments, ROI is sufficient.
