How to Calculate Real Estate Return on Investment

Evaluating the return on investment (ROI) for your real estate investments helps you understand their financial performance. Here's a simplified approach to calculate ROI for L&T Realty properties or any other real estate investment:

  1. Gather Data: Collect the purchase price (including closing costs) and the current market value of your property. Consider a recent appraisal or sales of similar properties in the area. If you're planning to sell, factor in selling costs like agent fees.

  2. Calculate Profit: Subtract the initial purchase price and any selling costs from the current market value. This represents the total profit generated from your investment.

  3. Divide by Investment: Divide the total profit by the original purchase price.

  4. Express as Percentage: Multiply the result by 100 to express your ROI as a percentage.

    Example: Let's say you purchased a property for ₹1 crore and plan to sell it for ₹1.5 crore (after incurring ₹5 lakh in selling costs). ROI = ((₹1.5 crore - ₹5 lakh) - ₹1 crore) / ₹1 crore * 100 = 45%.
