Frequently Asked Questions - ROI Calculator
What is a good ROI for a business investment?
A good ROI depends on the industry, risk level, and opportunity cost. Generally, 15-30% annual ROI is considered strong for business ventures. Stock market investments historically return 7-10% annually. Higher risk investments demand higher target returns.
What is the difference between ROI and IRR?
ROI calculates total return as a percentage of initial investment without accounting for the time value of money. IRR (Internal Rate of Return) is more sophisticated, accounting for the timing of cash flows. Use IRR for multi-year projects with irregular cash flows.
How do I calculate ROI for marketing campaigns?
Marketing ROI = (Revenue from Campaign - Campaign Cost) / Campaign Cost x 100. Track attribution carefully using unique URLs, promo codes, or tracking pixels. Consider customer lifetime value rather than just initial purchase revenue.
What are the limitations of using ROI?
ROI does not account for risk, time value of money (unless annualized), non-financial benefits, or opportunity costs. It can be manipulated by how costs and returns are defined. Always use ROI alongside other metrics like payback period and NPV.
Should I include opportunity cost in my ROI calculation?
Yes, for comprehensive analysis. At minimum, compare your ROI against a risk-free rate (government bonds) to see if the additional return compensates for the additional risk. This gives context to whether the investment was truly worthwhile.
