Frequently asked questions

What does a negative ROI mean?

The investment lost value — the final amount was less than what was originally invested.

Does ROI account for the time period?

No — this is a simple total-return ROI. See the CAGR Calculator for an annualized growth rate over time.

What should I enter as 'final value'?

The current or final value of the investment, including any returns received.

Is a higher ROI always better?

Generally yes, but it should be compared alongside the investment's time horizon and risk.
