How Does an ROI Calculator Work?
An ROI (Return on Investment) Calculator is a simple yet powerful financial tool that helps you evaluate how profitable an investment is. At Houssed, the ROI Calculator enables you to quickly measure returns from real estate investments, marketing spends, business projects, or financial assets, making decision-making easier and more data-driven.
ROI is expressed as a percentage, showing how much profit or loss you made compared to the amount you invested.
How the Houssed ROI Calculator Works
The calculator uses three basic inputs to determine your returns:
1. Initial Investment Cost
The total amount invested in a project, property, or campaign (in INR).
2. Returns or Final Value
The total money earned or the current value of the investment (in INR).
3. Holding Period
The duration for which the investment was held (in years or months).
ROI Formula Used
Once you enter the values, the calculator automatically applies the following formula:
ROI = (Net Profit ÷ Investment Cost) x 100
Where: Net Profit = Returns - Investment Cost
Example: ROI Calculation
Suppose you invested ₹50,000 in a digital marketing campaign for your business. After 3 months, the campaign generated ₹80,000 in direct sales.
Initial Investment: ₹50,000
Returns: ₹80,000
Step 1: Calculate Net Profit
Net Profit = ₹80,000 − ₹50,000 = ₹30,000
Step 2: Calculate ROI
ROI = (30,000 ÷ 50,000) × 100 = 60%
Result
Your ROI is 60%, meaning you earned ₹0.60 as profit for every ₹1 invested. This indicates a strong and profitable investment.

FAQs - ROI Calculator
Why does the ROI Calculator show both absolute and annualised returns? Absolute return shows the total gain on your investment. However, it doesn’t account for time. Annualised return standardises returns over a year, making it easier to compare investments held for different durations.
