ROI Calculator

Return on Investment (ROI) measures the profitability of an investment:

• Simple ROI shows total percentage return
• Annualized ROI accounts for time period
• Helps compare different investment opportunities
• Considers both gains and losses

The calculator uses two main formulas:

• Total ROI = ((Final Value - Initial Investment) / Initial Investment) × 100
• Annualized ROI = (Final Value / Initial Investment)^(1/years) - 1) × 100
• Investment Gain = Final Value - Initial Investment
• Time period can be entered in years or using dates

Annualized ROI helps compare investments over different time periods:

• Converts total return to yearly rate
• Accounts for compound growth
• Better for comparing investments
• More accurate for long-term analysis

Date range calculation is useful for:

• Exact investment periods
• Historical performance analysis
• Partial year calculations
• Precise period tracking
