Frequently Asked Questions
Does simple ROI factor in investment holding duration?
No, standard cumulative ROI represents total return regardless of time; use Annualized ROI for time-scaled comparisons across multi-year assets.
Can ROI be negative?
Yes, if the final value is lower than your initial investment capital, net profit becomes negative, yielding a percentage loss.
Should ongoing maintenance costs be included in initial investment?
Yes, factoring recurring expenses or holding costs into your capital outlay ensures an accurate true net ROI representation.
