How does this calculator work?
Add everything received from the investment, including sale proceeds and distributions, then compare it with everything paid. The return is measured against the initial investment plus additional costs.
The formula
Total cost = initial investment + additional costs. ROI = (total proceeds − total cost) ÷ total cost × 100.
What should you know?
- Enter full proceeds, not profit alone, and do not deduct costs twice.
- The return covers the entire period and is not annualized. It ignores cash-flow timing and inflation. Use CAGR for start-to-end growth without intermediate cash flows.
- A negative return means a loss. A 0% return means the total cost was recovered.
Common questions
Should I add distributions to the selling price?
Yes. Include sale proceeds and related distributions or income in total proceeds. Enter additional expenses once in their separate field.
Why does this differ from profit divided by initial investment?
This calculator includes additional costs in the denominator because they form part of the actual amount invested. State this definition when comparing returns.
