Frequently asked questions
How is ROI calculated?
(Final value minus the amount invested), divided by the amount invested, as a percent. €1,200 from €1,000 invested makes a 20% ROI.
Does ROI account for time?
Not on its own — 20% over 1 year and 20% over 5 years are very different. For a fair comparison over time, look at the annualised return (CAGR).
Is this a forecast or investment advice?
No. The result is an educational illustration based on assumptions you set — not a forecast, and not investment advice or a recommendation. You make the decision.
