ROI Calculator

An ROI (Return on Investment) calculator is an online financial tool that measures the profitability of an investment by expressing the net gain or loss as a percentage of the total cost of the investment. It is calculated as: ROI = [(Final Value – Initial Investment) ÷ Initial Investment] × 100. Unlike CAGR, which annualises returns over multiple years, ROI is a simple total return measure that doesn't account for the time taken — making it most useful for comparing investments of similar duration. For equity investors in India, the ROI calculator provides a quick summary of the absolute gain or loss percentage from a stock purchase or sale, useful for tracking individual position performance in a portfolio. For business investment decisions, ROI helps Indian entrepreneurs and corporate managers assess whether a specific capital expenditure — machinery, technology, marketing campaign — generated returns commensurate with its cost. Ventura's ROI calculator extends beyond simple equity returns to help investors evaluate real estate investments, fixed deposit returns, and business venture profitability — taking total purchase cost (including registration, stamp duty, brokerage) and total returns (rental income plus appreciation, or interest earned) to provide a comprehensive view of investment performance across different asset classes in the investor's portfolio.
