Formula used

Net gain = final value − initial investment − extra costs. ROI = (net gain ÷ initial investment) × 100. Annualised ROI estimate = ((final value − extra costs) ÷ initial investment)^(1 ÷ years held) − 1.

This is the method behind the answer, so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

Resulting answer

22.5% ROI

Net gain = $1,250.00 final value - $1,000.00 investment - $25.00 costs = $225.00. Annualized estimate over 1 year(s): 22.5%.

Answer: 22.5% ROI
Live support: Net gain = $1,250.00 final value - $1,000.00 investment - $25.00 costs = $225.00. Annualized estimate over 1 year(s): 22.5%.

Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

ROI is a comparison percentage. Keep the cash gain, costs and time held visible in any report.

Initial investment is the denominator for the ROI percentage.
Extra costs reduce the net gain before ROI is calculated.
The annualised estimate assumes one start value, one end value and a constant compound rate across the entered holding period.
Taxes, inflation, risk, timing of cash flows, dividends and reinvestment rules are not included unless they are already reflected in the entered values.
This is arithmetic for comparison and reporting, not financial advice.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Master’s Tip: keep cash profit and ROI percentage side by side. A small project can show a high ROI but still produce little cash, while a larger investment can show a lower ROI and still return more money.

What-if check

Costs and final-value sensitivity

ROI changes when hidden costs are added or the exit value moves. These rows keep the denominator fixed so the comparison stays honest.

Costs used	Net gain	ROI

25.00	225.00	22.50%
75.00	175.00	17.50%

Visual proof

Investment versus net result

Net end value is 1,225.00. Net gain is 225.00, giving 22.50% ROI and an annualised estimate of 22.50% over 1.00 years.

22.5% ROI

CalculationTime keeps the path visible: the input, the method and the final number belong together.

22.5% ROINet gain = $1,250.00 final value - $1,000.00 investment - $25.00 costs = $225.00. Annualized estimate over 1 year(s): 22.5%.

Inputs

Initial investment: 1,000
Final value or proceeds: 1,250
Fees and extra costs: 25
Years held: 1

Method

Initial investment 1,000 and final value 1,250 gives a gross gain of 250. Subtract 25 of fees and costs to get a net gain of 225. ROI = 225 ÷ 1,000 × 100 = 22.5%. Over one year, the annualised estimate is also 22.5%.

Assumptions

Initial investment is the denominator for the ROI percentage.
Extra costs reduce the net gain before ROI is calculated.
The annualised estimate assumes one start value, one end value and a constant compound rate across the entered holding period.
Taxes, inflation, risk, timing of cash flows, dividends and reinvestment rules are not included unless they are already reflected in the entered values.
