Formula for Return on Investment
NET PROFIT / TOTAL INVESTMENT COST X 100
- Net Profit: This is the total value that you have gained from your investment
- Total Investment Cost: This includes your total value that you have spent so that and this includes everything whether it is the total purchase value, tax, maintenance, renovation or any hidden amount that you have spent on it.
This formula helps in taking out the return on investment value and this can be calculated in both off plan and ready to move property with the above mentioned ROI formula.
Now let us breakdown this with an example for better understanding: -
As this formula is applied all over the world, but we are taking Dubai as an example, so for example you have purchased a villa in DAMAC Lagoons for AED 3 million and you sold the property for AED 5 million after 2 years, and in this duration, you have spent AED 1 million on renovation or other expenses.
So the total investment cost is AED 4 million (AED 3+1 million), and now the profit in the journey where the sale price of AED 5 million + if you have earned some rental incoming assuming it AED 1 million, so it becomes AED 6 million.
And now for net profit, AED 6 million- AED 4 million which becomes AED 2 million.
So according to the formula, AED 2 million divided by AED 4 million x 100 becomes your 50% ROI in 2 years.
After this, let us draw your attention towards factors that impact ROI so that maximum benefit can be consumed by its owners: -
