Unit Economics
ROI Calculator
The return on any investment — a campaign, a hire, a machine — as a percentage, plus the annualized rate so you can compare across different time spans.
Inputs
- Amount invested — Total you put in, including fees and setup.
- Amount returned — Total value you got back out.
- Years held — How long the money was tied up.
How to use this calculator
- Enter the amount invested, the amount returned, and how long the money was tied up.
- The headline is total ROI; the annualized figure lets you compare across time spans.
- A big total ROI over many years can be a mediocre annual return, so always check both.
What each term means
- ROI
- Return on investment: net gain as a percentage of cost.
- Annualized return
- The equivalent yearly rate, so long and short bets compare fairly.
- Multiple on money
- How many times your money you got back (e.g. 1.6×).
