Calculate return on investment from an initial cost and the amount received or current value. The result is intended for quick estimates, checking arithmetic and comparing scenarios. When a result affects a contract, tax filing, medical decision, building-code requirement or other high-stakes situation, verify the result with the appropriate professional or authoritative source.
An investment costing $12,000 and later worth $15,000 has a $3,000 gain and a simple ROI of 3,000 ÷ 12,000 = 25%.
What to check: ROI by itself ignores how long funds were tied up. Taxes, cash distributions, ongoing costs, and additional investments must be treated consistently when making real decisions.
