Frequently Asked Questions
Simple Return on Investment is calculated by dividing net profit by initial cost: ROI = ((Final Value - Initial Cost) / Initial Cost) * 100. For example, if you invest $1,000 and return $1,550, your net profit is $550 and simple ROI is 55%.
Simple ROI does not account for time. A 50% return in 1 year is excellent, but a 50% return over 10 years is poor. Annualized ROI (CAGR) calculates average annual compounding growth, allowing you to compare short-term and long-term investments fairly.
The investment multiplier is the ratio of returned capital to invested capital: Multiplier = Final Value / Initial Cost. A multiplier of 2x indicates you doubled your money, while a multiplier of 0.8x indicates a 20% loss.
