Return on Investment (ROI) is a simple metric for measuring the profitability of an investment. The basic ROI formula is:
$ ROI = (Final Value - Total Investment) / Total Investment
For comparing investments held different lengths of time, annualized ROI (the compound annual growth rate equivalent) is more useful — it converts the total return into a yearly rate. Use the annualized ROI when comparing multi-year investments. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
