Assumption: ROI measures the total percentage gain or loss relative to the initial investment. It does not annualize the return and does not account for the time value of money, taxes, fees, or interim cash flows.

How ROI is calculated

ROI compares the profit or loss with the amount originally invested. A positive ROI indicates a gain, while a negative ROI indicates a loss.

ROI is a total-return measure. Unlike CAGR, it does not convert the result into an annualized growth rate.

How to use this calculator

What to enter

Enter or select the following as requested: Currency; Initial Investment ₹; Final Value ₹. Follow the units, valid ranges, examples, and options displayed beside each field.

What the result means

Return on investment compares the net gain or benefit with the investment cost using the formula and period shown by this calculator. Check whether the output is a percentage or ratio and whether ongoing costs, taxes, and the time value of money are included.

When to use it

Use this to compare investment scenarios with consistent cost, benefit, and time-period assumptions. ROI alone does not describe risk, cash-flow timing, or how long it takes to recover the investment.
