ROI Calculator
Measure return on investment for any project, asset or campaign.
ROI is (gain ÷ cost) × 100: turn ₹1 lakh into ₹1.5 lakh and your ROI is 50%. But 50% over 3 years is very different from 50% in 3 months — always annualise to compare fairly. This calculator shows both the raw ROI and the annualised figure.
How to use the roi calculator
- Enter your initial investment.
- Enter the final value and holding period.
- Compare ROI and annualised returns.
ROI Calculator — FAQs
What is a good ROI?
It depends on risk and time: 7–8% annualised is solid for safe instruments, 11–13% for equity over long periods. Anything promising 30%+ with ‘no risk’ is a red flag.
ROI vs CAGR — what’s the difference?
ROI is total return over the whole period; CAGR smooths it into a per-year rate. Use CAGR when comparing investments held for different durations.
Does ROI account for time?
No — that’s its weakness. ₹50% ROI over 1 year vs 5 years are worlds apart, which is why you should always look at the annualised number too.
Should I include all costs in ROI?
Yes — brokerage, taxes, maintenance, inflation. ROI on the sticker price alone flatters every investment.
