How it works
Return on investment (ROI) shows the gain as a percentage of the original cost.
ROI = (final value − initial cost) / initial cost × 100. Annualized ROI (CAGR) also accounts for the investment duration.
Example: a €1,000 investment that became €1,300 has a 30% ROI.
Frequently asked questions
What is annualized ROI (CAGR)?
It is the average yearly growth rate that would produce the same total return — useful for comparing investments of different durations.
Can ROI be negative?
Yes, when the final value is less than the initial cost — it means a loss.
Does ROI include fees?
For an accurate result, enter as the cost the total amount you invested, including commissions and fees.
