FAQs
A "good" ROI depends on the investment type and risk. Historically, stock markets average 10–12% annually. Real estate may yield 8–12%. For low-risk savings, 4–7% is reasonable. Generally, ROI above inflation rate is considered positive.
ROI shows total return over the entire period. Annualized ROI (also called CAGR) normalizes the return to a per-year basis, making it easier to compare investments of different durations.
