ROI Calculator
Simple ROI from cost and final value, annualized when you give it a time period — because "we doubled our money" means something completely different over 2 years versus 12.
The numbers
- ROI
- +44%
- 22,000 gain
- Annualized (CAGR)
- 12.92% / yr
The operator’s read
Worth knowing
The annualized figure is the comparable one: 44% over 3 years is 12.9%/year — hold that against your alternatives (index funds ~7-10% nominal, paying down debt at its APR, risk-free rates).
Worth knowing
Count ALL the cost: fees, taxes, your own hours at a real rate. ROI on a project that consumed 300 unpriced founder-hours is a different number than the spreadsheet shows.
Methodology
Simple ROI = (final − cost) ÷ cost. Annualized ROI = (final ÷ cost)^(1/years) − 1, identical to CAGR — the form that makes different holding periods comparable.
