Return on investment (ROI)
Return on investment (ROI) is a performance metric, typically expressed as a percentage, that measures the profitability of an investment by comparing the net profit generated to the initial cost.
The formula to calculate Return on investment (ROI) is:
ROI = (Net Profit / Cost of Investment) × 100
Where:
- Net profit is the gain from the investment (Revenue - Cost).
- The cost of investment is the total amount invested.
Return on Investment (ROI) helps businesses assess their investments’ efficiency and financial return.
A good ROI varies by industry and investment type, but generally, a higher ROI indicates a more profitable investment.
