What Is ROI in Dubai and How Is It Calculated?
Short answer
ROI, or Return on Investment, is a financial metric used to assess the profitability of an investment.
It is calculated by dividing the net profit from the investment by the initial cost of the investment, then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. The formula is: ROI = (Net Profit / Investment Cost) x 100. This metric helps investors evaluate the efficiency and potential returns of their investment relative to its cost.
