Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the exit price required for a target ROI?+
Select G (Final Exit Value) as the solved variable and enter your cost basis C and target ROI percentage.
Does standard ROI account for holding period length?+
No. Standard ROI measures cumulative return regardless of duration; use the Compound Interest (CAGR) solver for annualized comparisons.
Can ROI be negative?+
Yes. Whenever final value G is below cost basis C, ROI is negative, reaching -100% upon total loss of principal.
