Return on Design Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Return on Design.
ROD = +S / TSD * 100
- Where ROD is the Return on Design (%)
- +S is the increase in sales generated from design ($)
- TSD is the total spent on design ($)
How to Calculate Return on Design?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Return on Design.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the increase in sales generated from design ($).
- The increase in sales generated from design ($) is given as: 325.
- Next, determine the total spent on design ($).
- The total spent on design ($) is provided as: 780.
- Finally, calculate the Return on Design using the equation above:
ROD = +S / TSD * 100
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
ROD = 325 / 780 * 100 = 41.67 (%)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables needed are provided below:
increase in sales generated from design ($) = 600
total spent on design ($) = 4120
This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer.
ROD = +S / TSD * 100 = ?
