How ROI is Calculated

ROI measures the efficiency and profitability of an investment by comparing net gain against initial cost.

Mathematical Formula
Net Profit = Amount Returned - Amount Invested ROI (%) = (Net Profit / Amount Invested) × 100
Formula Variables & Logic

Amount Invested is the cost basis, and Amount Returned is the total final cash returned.

Worked Example: Equipment Upgrade ROI
Sample Calculation
Scenario: A company invests $25,000 into automated packaging machinery and generates $42,000 in operational cost savings and revenue.
Step-by-step breakdown
  1. 1Net Profit = $42,000 - $25,000 = $17,000
  2. 2ROI = ($17,000 / $25,000) × 100 = 68.00%
  3. 3Multiple = $42,000 / $25,000 = 1.68x
Estimated Result
The ROI is 68.00% with a 1.68x return multiple.
