- 1
Enter the investment

Add the holding period
How many years you held it, to get the annualized return.
Why use the roi calculator tool from Super Utility Hub?
ROI tells you how profitable an investment was relative to what you put in. This calculator takes the amount invested and the final value, and returns the total profit, the ROI percentage, and the annualized return — the fair way to compare investments held for different lengths.
The annualized figure converts any holding period into an equivalent yearly rate, which makes a 2-year 30% gain directly comparable to a 5-year 60% gain.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between ROI and annualized return?
ROI is the total gain relative to cost over the whole period. The annualized return is that gain expressed as an equivalent yearly compound rate.
Does it include fees and taxes?
No — enter net figures if you want those included. Subtract fees and taxes from the final value before calculating.
Can I compare two investments?
Yes — run both through the tool and compare the annualized returns. That normalizes different holding periods.
