It depends on the asset class and risk. For real estate, 8-12% annualized is generally good. For stocks, the historical average is about 10% annually.

Does this account for inflation?

No, this calculates nominal ROI. For real (inflation-adjusted) returns, subtract the average inflation rate from the annualized ROI.

What This Calculator Does

This ROI calculator measures the total and annualized return on investment for real estate or any financial investment, accounting for capital gains, rental income, and expenses over a specified holding period.

The Formula

ROI = (Net Profit / Total Investment) x 100 | Annualized ROI = ((1 + ROI)^(1/years) - 1) x 100

Total ROI measures the overall percentage return. Annualized ROI adjusts for the holding period so you can compare investments held for different lengths of time on an equal basis.

Add income and expenses

Annual rental income ($18,000) and annual expenses ($5,000) over a 5-year holding period.

Review ROI

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Not including all costs (closing costs, renovation, maintenance) in the total investment figure.
Comparing total ROI of investments with different holding periods. Use annualized ROI instead.
Ignoring the time value of money - a 20% return in 1 year is much better than 20% over 10 years.
