Overview
Return on investment (ROI) is a financial metric intended for the measurement of benefits an investor receives for the amount of investment made. Generally, a higher ROI ratio is preferred for investors. The formulas for calculating ROI are as follows:
ROI = Net Income / Cost of Investment
or
ROI = Investment Gain / Investment Base
The ROI formula can be modified to account for the timing of investment:
Annualized ROI = [(Ending Value of Investment / Beginning Value of Investment)^(1 / # of Years)] - 1
Where # of Years = (Ending Date of Investment - Starting Date of Investment) / 365
