Understanding the Results
- Profit/Loss: The dollar amount you gained (positive) or lost (negative). Final Value - Initial Investment.
- ROI Percentage: Your return as a percentage of initial investment. Positive = profit, negative = loss.
- Annualized ROI: Average yearly return, accounting for investment duration. Useful for comparing investments of different time periods.

- • Initial Investment: $10,000
- • Final Value: $15,000
- • Duration: 2 years
Results:
- • Profit: $5,000 ($15,000 - $10,000)
- • ROI: 50% (($5,000 / $10,000) × 100)
- • Annualized ROI: 22.47% (average per year over 2 years)
