Frequently asked

What is the difference between total and annualized ROI?

Total ROI is the raw percentage gain/loss. Annualized ROI (also called CAGR) is the equivalent yearly rate — the "if this grew at a constant rate, what would it be" number. It makes short and long investments comparable.

How is annualized ROI calculated?

(final ÷ initial) ^ (1 ÷ years) − 1, expressed as a percentage. This is the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) formula.

Does this account for fees or taxes?

No — enter net numbers if you want the after-cost picture. Subtract commissions, capital gains tax, and inflation from the final value first for the "real" return.
