FAQ

What does the output represent?

It shows the net gain generated by the investment, excluding the original principal. Add it to the investment amount to estimate total value after the project completes.

Can I use decimal percentages?

Yes. Enter 6.5 for a 6.5% ROI or -3 for a negative return scenario.

How is this different from ROI percentage?

The ROI percentage expresses efficiency, while the dollar result reveals absolute profit. Use both to compare scale and effectiveness.
