ROI Calculation Best Practices
Measure investment returns and make data-driven decisions
Collect all costs associated with an initiative, including labor and overhead, before calculating return on investment.
Use the calculator to compare ROI across different projects so you can prioritize the most profitable opportunities.
Look Beyond a Single Metric
Pair ROI with payback period and net present value to understand short- and long-term performance.
Document assumptions in the calculator notes to revisit when actual results come in.
