Enter the total invested capital ($) and the total return ($) into the Return on Invested Capital Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Return on Invested Capital. 

Return on Invested Capital Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Return on Invested Capital. 

ROIC = R / IC * 100 
  • Where ROIC is the Return on Invested Capital (%)
  • R is the total invested capital ($) 
  • IC is the total return ($) 

To calculate the return on invested capital, divide the total return by the total invested amount, then multiply by 100.

How to Calculate Return on Invested Capital?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Return on Invested Capital.

Example Problem #1:
