FAQ Q: What is the difference between ROI and Annualized ROI? A: Total ROI shows the overall percentage return over the entire investment period, while Annualized ROI breaks this down into an average annual rate. Annualized ROI is more useful for comparing investments of different durations. Q: Can I use this for negative returns? A: Yes! The calculator works for both profitable and unprofitable investments. Negative returns will be clearly marked in red. Q: How accurate is the annualized ROI calculation? A: The calculator uses the standard compound annual growth rate (CAGR) formula, which is the industry standard for annualized returns. It assumes compound growth, which is accurate for most investment types. Q: Can I calculate ROI for periods less than one year? A: Absolutely! You can enter fractional years. For example, 0.5 for 6 months, 0.25 for 3 months, etc. Q: Do I need to account for fees or expenses? A: You should include all costs in your Initial Investment and all proceeds in your Final Value for the most accurate ROI calculation. Q: Is my data saved? A: Free users' calculations are not saved. Pro users have access to automatic history tracking that stores all calculations for future reference. Q: Can I process multiple calculations at once? A: Bulk CSV processing is available for Pro users (Basic tier and above). This allows you to upload a CSV file with multiple investments and get results for all of them at once.

Error: "Investment duration must be greater than zero" Enter a valid duration. Use decimals for periods less than one year (e.g., 0.5 for 6 months).
