Enter the revenue generated from expenses ($) and the total expenses ($) into the Return on Expenses Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Return on Expenses. 

Return on Expenses Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Return on Expenses. 

ROEXP = (RG – TE) / TE * 100

  • Where ROEXP is the Return on Expenses (%)
  • RG is the revenue generated from expenses ($) 
  • TE is the total expenses ($) 

How to Calculate Return on Expenses?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Return on Expenses.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the revenue generated from expenses ($). 
    • The revenue generated from expenses ($) is given as: 5,000.
  2. Next, determine the total expenses ($). 
    • The total expenses ($) is provided as: 4,000.
  3. Finally, calculate the Return on Expenses using the equation above: 

ROEXP = (RG – TE) / TE * 100

The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:

ROEXP = (5000 – 4000) / 4000 * 100 = 25.00 (%)


Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables needed are provided below:

revenue generated from expenses ($) = 6000

total expenses ($) = 10000
