Quick answer
ROI is (gain − cost) ÷ cost × 100; annualised ROI adjusts that return for how long the money was invested.
ROI = (final value − cost) ÷ cost × 100

Frequently asked questions
Why annualise?
A 45% return over three years is not the same as 45% in one year. Annualising makes investments of different lengths comparable.
Does ROI include fees?
Only if you add them to the cost. For an accurate figure, include commissions, taxes and any carrying costs in the invested amount.
