Why this tool is different

Calculate simple ROI from initial cost and ending value, plus optional annualized return for multi-year holding periods. OpenFileTools exposes the inputs, formulas and scenario effects so the estimate remains auditable.

Requirements and recommendations

Model the decision with explicit assumptions

  • Enter realistic assumptions instead of best-case values.
  • Use the scenario lab to see which assumption changes the result most.
  • Verify taxes, rates, fees, legal rules and market inputs from authoritative sources before making a real decision.
How OpenFileTools processes it

Local processing, explicit choices.

The browser evaluates the published calculation from your inputs and recomputes a bounded sensitivity range around the selected scenario variable. No external market feed or hidden scoring service is called.
