How to Use This Calculator
1
Enter your total initial investment
Everything you put in: purchase price, closing costs, renovation, setup fees, commissions — the full cost basis of the investment.
2
Enter the final value (or sale proceeds)
What you received back or what the investment is worth today. For stocks: current value. For real estate: sale price minus selling costs. For business: equity value or sale price.
3
Enter the holding period
How many years you held the investment. This is used to calculate the annualized (per-year) ROI, which is more useful for comparing investments held for different time periods.
4
Compare total ROI vs annualized ROI
Total ROI shows the raw return percentage. Annualized ROI is more useful for comparison — a 50% total return over 10 years (4.1%/yr) is far less impressive than 50% over 2 years (22.5%/yr).
