Definition of rate of return

Rate of return refers to the percentage of annual income earned from an investment. It is a measure of the profitability of an investment and is calculated by dividing the annual income by the amount of the investment.

  • If you invest $1,000 in a stock and earn $100 in dividends in a year, your rate of return is 10% ($100/$1,000).
  • A real estate investor buys a property for $200,000 and earns $20,000 in rental income in a year. The rate of return on the investment is 10% ($20,000/$200,000).

These examples illustrate how rate of return is calculated and how it can be used to evaluate the profitability of different investments.

Simple Definition

Rate of return refers to the amount of money earned from an investment each year, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. It helps investors understand how much profit they can expect to make from their investment. A fair rate of return is the amount of profit that a public utility is allowed to earn, as determined by a public utility commission. Internal rate of return is a method used to evaluate the actual return on a long-term investment.
