How to use this tool
Enter USD cost and total returned, including recovered principal rather than profit alone. Decide consistently whether fees and other expenses are included in your cost basis.
Results and examples
Gain is returned minus invested, and ROI is gain/invested × 100. A negative value indicates a loss on that basis but does not describe volatility or leveraged risk.
Worked example
USD 1,000 invested and USD 1,200 returned gives USD 200 gain and 20% ROI.
Limitations
- Holding period, interim flows and reinvestment are excluded.
- Taxes and fees appear only if included in your input amounts.
