ROI: What It Is and How to Calculate Return on Investment

ROI (Return on Investment) measures the profitability of investments. In digital marketing, it is most commonly used to evaluate advertising expenses.

Formula:

ROI = (Profit − Marketing Costs) / Marketing Costs × 100%

Interpretation:

ROI > 100% — the investment is profitable;

ROI < 100% — the investment is unprofitable.
