ROI (Return on Investment) tells you how much profit an investment made relative to what you put in. Enter what you paid and what it's worth now to get the profit (or loss) and the ROI percentage — the simplest profitability yardstick there is.
ROI
50.00%
Profit relative to cost.
Simple estimate for comparison only. ROI ignores time, risk and taxes. This is not investment advice.
ROI compares the gain to the original outlay:
ROI = (Current value − Cost) ÷ Cost × 100
A positive ROI means profit; a negative ROI means loss. For an honest number, use your all-in cost — include brokerage, fees and taxes paid, not just the headline price.
Bought for ₹1,00,000, now worth ₹1,50,000:
If it were worth only ₹80,000 instead, the ROI would be −20% — a ₹20,000 loss.
ROI is the headline percentage — 50% means you made half your investment back as profit. Profit / loss is the same result in rupees, which is what actually matters to your wallet.
ROI's blind spot is time: 50% in one year is excellent, 50% over ten years is poor. For multi-year investments, convert to CAGR to compare fairly.
