About the ROI Calculator
Measure how an investment performed from what you put in, what it is worth now and how many years you held it. You get the profit or loss, the total ROI and the annualized rate, so returns over different periods can be compared fairly.
How to use it
- 1 Enter the Initial Investment, the amount you put in.
- 2 Enter the Final Value, what the investment is worth now or what you sold it for.
- 3 Set the Investment Period in whole years with the slider, or tap 1, 3, 5, 10 or 20.
- 4 Read the Annualized ROI, then the Profit / Loss and the total ROI.

Only if you include them in your numbers. Add fees to the initial investment and add any dividends or interest you received to the final value for a fuller picture.
