Return on Investment Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Return on Investment Calculator and understand its working principles.

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter your Initial Investment amount in the first field (e.g., $10,000).
  2. Enter your Total Returns amount in the second field (e.g., $15,000).
  3. Click the Calculate button to compute the ROI and Net Profit.

Understanding the Results

The calculator provides two key outputs:

  • Net Profit: The total profit from your investment, calculated as Total Returns minus Initial Investment.
  • Return on Investment (ROI): A percentage representing the gain or loss on your investment, calculated as (Net Profit / Initial Investment) * 100.

Example Calculation

Suppose you invested $10,000 and earned $12,000 in returns:

Net Profit = $12,000 - $10,000 = $2,000

ROI = ($2,000 / $10,000) * 100 = 20%

This means your investment yielded a 20% return.

Practical Applications
