ROI Calculator: How to Measure Return on Any Investment

ROI is the most universal metric to judge any financial decision.

The Formula

$$ROI = \frac{\text{Net Profit}}{\text{Cost of Investment}} \times 100$$

When to Use ROI

  • Evaluating a paid marketing campaign
  • Comparing two investment options
  • Deciding whether to hire a new employee

Annualized ROI (for multi-year investments)

$$\text{Annualized ROI} = (1 + ROI)^{1/n} - 1$$

👉 Calculate any investment's ROI instantly at ROI Calculator on Global Info Wiki.

A 20% ROI in 2 years = only 9.5% per year — always annualize before comparing!
