What is Return on Investment (ROI)?
ROI is a performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency or profitability of an investment. It measures the amount of return on an investment relative to the investment's cost. A positive ROI means the investment gains compare favorably to its cost.
ROI Formula
Annualized ROI
Annualized ROI normalizes the return to a yearly basis, making it easier to compare investments held for different time periods. It shows the average yearly return if the investment performed consistently over the period.
Interpreting ROI
- Positive ROI: Investment gained value (profit)
- Negative ROI: Investment lost value (loss)
- 0% ROI: Break-even (no gain or loss)
- 20%+ ROI: Generally considered excellent
- 10-20% ROI: Good performance
Use Cases
- Evaluate stock market investments
- Assess real estate returns
- Compare different investment opportunities
- Measure business project profitability
- Track cryptocurrency performance
- Analyze marketing campaign effectiveness
Important Notes
- ROI doesn't account for risk or time value of money
- Include all costs (fees, taxes, maintenance) for accurate results
- Past performance doesn't guarantee future results
- Compare ROI with similar investment types
- Consider inflation when evaluating long-term investments
