How we worked it out

Updated as you change the numbers.

  1. ROI = (returned − invested) ÷ invested = ($7,500.00 − $5,000.00) ÷ $5,000.00.
  2. Annualized ROI = (returned ÷ invested)^(1 ÷ years) − 1.

Method and assumptions

ROI is the gain as a share of the cost. It ignores how long the money was tied up, so the annualized figure, the compound yearly rate, is better for comparing investments.
