Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good ROI percentage?

A "good" ROI depends on the asset class and time horizon. For stocks, many investors target 7–10% annually (historical S&P 500 average). For real estate, 8–12% is considered solid. Compare your ROI to a benchmark for your asset class.

What is the difference between ROI and annualized return?

ROI shows your total return over the entire investment period. Annualized return (CAGR) spreads that return over each year, making it easier to compare investments with different time horizons.

Can ROI be negative?

Yes. If your investment loses money, ROI will be negative. For example, a $10,000 investment now worth $8,000 has an ROI of -20%.

Does ROI account for inflation?

No. This calculator gives nominal ROI. For real (inflation-adjusted) returns, subtract the inflation rate from your annualized return.

What is ROI?

ROI (Return on Investment) measures profitability: (Gain - Cost) / Cost × 100%
